Since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire came into effect, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has been on a heroic mission, delivering an average of 560 tonnes of food into Gaza every single day 🍞.
That sounds huge, but it feels like trying to refill an Olympic swimming pool with a teaspoon. The needs in Gaza are massive, and right now, this level of aid falls far below what is needed to feed millions facing a severe humanitarian crisis.
Why is food not reaching everyone?
- Closed crossings: Northern routes into Gaza City – where the crisis is most acute – remain shut.
- Logistical hurdles: Damaged roads and limited fuel make bussing supplies across the enclave a real challenge.
- Growing demand: With power outages and water shortages, more families are on the brink.
For residents of Gaza City, each day without enough food feels like running a marathon on empty. Imagine your hunger bar at zero – that is the reality for many.
Humanitarian groups are calling on governments and border authorities to open more crossings and scale up deliveries ASAP. It feels like leveling up in a game; without those critical power-ups, the mission stalls.
💪 How can you help? Stay informed, share credible updates, and keep the conversation going. In our digital age, awareness is one of the strongest tools we have to spark real change. 🌐✨
