The World Food Programme warned Tuesday that the aid permitted by Israel into Gaza is vastly insufficient, calling it a "drop in the ocean" just days after famine was officially declared in the Palestinian territory.
The United Nations declared a famine in Gaza on Friday, blaming the "systematic obstruction" of aid by Israel during its nearly two-year genocidal war.
Carl Skau, WFP's chief operating officer, said that over the past two weeks, there has been a "slight uptick" in aid entering, averaging around 100 trucks per day.
"That's still a drop in the ocean when we're talking about assisting some 2.1 million people," Skau told AFP during a visit to New Delhi.
"We need a completely different level of assistance to be able to turn this trajectory of famine around."
