The United Nations food agency has raised concerns over the blockage of animal feed for Gaza, stating that shipments have been prevented from reaching the region for several months.
The lack of animal feed poses a significant threat to the livestock in Gaza, impacting the food supply chain and livelihoods of many families who rely on animal husbandry for income and sustenance.
The UN food agency emphasized the urgent need for the resumption of animal feed shipments to Gaza to prevent a humanitarian crisis from unfolding. Livestock play a crucial role in providing meat, dairy products, and other essential resources for the population in Gaza.
The ongoing blockage of animal feed is exacerbating an already dire situation in Gaza, where residents face numerous challenges including food insecurity, limited access to basic services, and a lack of economic opportunities.
The UN food agency has called on all parties involved to prioritize the well-being of the population in Gaza and ensure the timely delivery of essential supplies, including animal feed, to support the local agricultural sector and prevent further deterioration of living conditions.
Efforts are being made to address the issue and facilitate the unimpeded flow of animal feed into Gaza, but immediate action is required to avert a worsening crisis and protect the welfare of both the people and livestock in the region.
