US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the entire population of Gaza is experiencing 'severe levels of acute food insecurity', as the UN food agency has declared famine is imminent in the enclave, underscoring the urgency for increasing the delivery of humanitarian aid to people starving in the territory.
Speaking at press conference in the Philippines where Blinken is on an official visit this Tuesday, the top US diplomat said: "According to the most respected measure of these things, 100 percent of the population in Gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. That's the first time an entire population has been so classified."
