The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said Tuesday that humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip remain dire for Palestinians, despite a cease-fire that has lasted more than two months.
"In Gaza, conditions remain dire, and humanitarian needs are overwhelming. Families continue to endure severe shortages and widespread destruction," the agency said in a statement X social media.
Citing the latest report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the statement said that 1.6 million people face acute food insecurity in the enclave.
"Gaza remains in a man-made hunger crisis," the UNRWA quoted Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.
The agency reaffirmed that its teams, who are also displaced, are still working on the ground to support affected families.
