USAID Administrator Samantha Power expressed concerns about the lack of food access in Gaza, stating that Israel has not done enough to address the “famine-like conditions” in the region. Power highlighted the urgent need for increased access to food to prevent a potential famine crisis.
Power noted a recent improvement in the amount of aid being allowed into Gaza after facing prolonged restrictions from Israel. Despite the presence of supermarkets with food supplies nearby, Gaza continues to experience severe food shortages, leading to reports of malnutrition-related deaths, particularly among young children.
