AMMAN — The
World Food Program warned on
Tuesday that the situation in Gaza is deteriorating rapidly, with only enough
food stock in stores for four to five days, according to Al-Mamalaka.

The organization stated that food reserves
have started to decline in warehouses within the besieged
Palestinian territory, but the situation is even more critical in stores.
"The current food supplies of basic
commodities are only sufficient for two weeks, and this is at the wholesale
level,” said
WFP spokesperson, Abeer Atieh.
Atieh explained that out of the five flour
mills in Gaza, only one is operating due to security concerns and a lack of
fuel. Consequently, bread supplies are dwindling, and people line up for hours
to obtain bread.
She pointed out that only five out of 23
bakeries contracted by the World Food Program in Gaza are still operational.
Humanitarian aid convoys were stationed in
El-Arish, the capital of North Sinai Governorate, and headed for the Rafah
crossing into Gaza on Tuesday, as announced by relief workers.
Shipments of humanitarian aid have arrived by
air from various countries and international organizations. Egypt has sent
dozens of trucks, while calls from around the world for donations continue to
grow.
While Washington calls on Egypt to allow
Americans to leave Gaza, Egypt has responded that no one will leave without aid
deliveries.
