Israeli Blockade Leaves '100 Percent' Of Gaza's Population At Risk Of Famine: UN

Israel allowed only a 'trickle' of food into the strip this week after three months of a complete blockade, while killing seven Gaza police officers seeking to prevent the looting of aid

The entire population of Gaza, over 2 million people, is at risk of famine, the UN stated on 30 May, after nearly three months of Israel's near-total blockade of the strip.

“Gaza is the hungriest place on Earth,” said Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

“It's the only defined area – a country or defined territory within a country – where you have the entire population at risk of famine. One hundred percent of the population at risk of famine,” he said, rejecting claims to the contrary by Israeli authorities.

On 2 March, Israel reimposed a total blockade on Gaza, preventing all food and humanitarian aid from entering, creating severe shortages of food and medicine.

In recent days, Israel has allowed just a trickle of aid to enter the strip amid international criticism of its use of starvation as a weapon of war.
