The Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that the agency has stockpiled enough food to feed 1.1 million people for three months outside Gaza. The main challenge now is to ensure the safe delivery of this aid into the region. The importance of having sufficient and accessible crossings for humanitarian aid was highlighted by the WFP Chief, emphasizing the need for more entry points into Gaza.
Israel's decision to temporarily open the Erez crossing and Ashdod port was welcomed by the WFP as a crucial step in facilitating aid operations. The Erez crossing, in particular, is vital for the delivery of humanitarian assistance into northern Gaza. The first shipments of aid were expected to arrive at the Erez crossing on Sunday, following the Israeli government's announcement.
