ROME, May 31, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Saturday that a ceasefire in Gaza is the only viable path to ensure the safe delivery of food and humanitarian aid to the besieged enclave.
In a statement published on X, the WFP emphasized that it has enough food stockpiled to feed all 2.2 million people in Gaza for two months, but without a cessation of hostilities, it cannot be distributed safely.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating due to Israel’s severe blockade, the statement said. It added that nearly 80 days of complete siege, the people of Gaza are starving and can no longer bear to see food pass by without reaching them.
The WFP stressed the urgent need for large-scale, consistent delivery of food aid and called for safer, more reliable access routes for humanitarian convoys. The organization also urged for faster permit approvals and the opening of additional border crossings to facilitate the flow of life-saving supplies.
