The UK has provided food for 275,000 people of Gaza who are suffering from famine, as per new reports.
Food aid of more than 2,000 tonnes provided by the UK will be distributed among the people of Gaza by the World Food Programme (WFP), Sky News has reported.
The aid includes fortified wheat flour, canned vegetables, fish, meat and date bars.
Every food parcel is sufficient for a family of five and will provide a family half of their daily calories for 15 days.
Amid this, UK’s Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron, urged Israel to provide ‘sustained humanitarian access’ to the people of the territory.
He said, “It's crucial that we keep the flow of aid moving into Gaza to end the suffering, and that's why this latest delivery of aid by WFP is so vitally important. "
The UK aid package comes as United Nations and Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), warned this month that ‘famine is imminent’ in Gaza.
Cameron added, “The IPC's report warns of imminent famine. We need sustained humanitarian access by road to get more aid in… . We continue to push Israel to allow more crossings to open and for longer, and for healthcare, water and sanitation to be restored."
