Food aid deliveries to Gaza have modestly increased, but the amount remains insufficient to prevent widespread starvation, according to the head of the World Food Programme. Cindy McCain reported that about 100 aid trucks are entering Gaza daily, far below the 600 trucks that arrived during the ceasefire, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of famine. During her visit to devastated areas, McCain witnessed severe hunger and malnutrition, emphasizing the urgent need for deeper access to vulnerable populations. Despite some improvements in commercial food supplies, most residents still cannot afford basic necessities, and experts warn that famine could spread further by September. While Israeli officials claim to support humanitarian efforts, they have dismissed recent hunger reports as biased, sparking calls for increased aid and greater access.
