The World Food Programme says it has run out of food stocks in Gaza due to the sustained closure of crossings into the enclave.

“No humanitarian or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for more than seven weeks as all main border crossing points remain closed. This is the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced, exacerbating already fragile markets and food systems,” the WFP says in a statement to journalists.
