Details: Entry points into Gaza have been largely closed over the past few weeks, with the exception of the Rafah border crossing, she said. Despite the constant increase in aid flows to the Gaza Strip, it is not enough to meet the growing needs.
McCain also stressed that the crisis in Gaza is “not just a local tragedy, it is a stark reminder that our global food crisis is getting worse.”
The UN mission is expanding its reach to reach more than one million people with urgent food assistance over the next few weeks.
