More than 90% of families in the Gaza Strip lack the cash needed to buy what little food remains available in the markets, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement, APA reports citing TASS.
"Meat, dairy, vegetables and fruit are nearly absent from people’s diets, and eggs have once again disappeared from the market," the statement reads.
OCHA points out that "supplies continue to dwindle, as what is allowed into Gaza is merely a trickle." In particular, about 250,000 meals were distributed in Gaza every day this week, down from over a million in late April.
