Today I saw long lines of blocked relief trucks waiting to be let into Gaza. It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. The choice is clear: surge or starvation. Let’s choose the side of help, the side of hope & the right side of history. I will not give up.

“In a darkening world, @‌UNRWA is the one ray of light for so many. We must not take that hope away.” This past week, António Guterres visited a health centre in Jordan, and met young Palestinian refugee students benefitting from UNRWA 's work in the region.

#Gaza Thanks CNN for staying with the story

6 months into the conflict, everyone in #Gaza is hungry. Famine is ever closer in the North. We need humanitarian staff and supplies to be able to move freely and safely across Gaza. It’s a case of surge or starvation.

🚨Thousands of families still in #Rafah need aid. World Food Programme distributed food until it ran out. With little aid coming in from southern crossings & our warehouse still inaccessible, remaining food stocks have only supported 50K hot meals a day. 📣We need safe & sustained access.

The people of #Syria have suffered for far too long. Millions are displaced, food insecurity is rampant, and people long for peace. World Food Programme remains committed to reaching those in need wherever we can. We call on all parties to ensure the protection of civilians and humanitarians.

All crossings into Gaza need to be ‘open and reliable’ during ceasefire, - WFP spokesperson, Abeer Etefa tells The National journalist Nada AlTaher She highlights why "the most important thing is to keep people alive." Read more thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2025… #Gaza #ceasefire

#Ceasefire The first World Food Programme trucks have started crossing from Egypt through Kerem Shalom/Karam Abu Salem into #Gaza. WFP can send around 30,000 tons of food each month to reach over 1 million people. All border crossings must remain open & function efficiently & reliably.

Continued cuts to World Food Programme’s emergency operations will deepen hunger, fuel instability, and make the world far less safe. We urge world leaders to weigh the consequences. With conflicts & extreme hunger surging, pulling support doesn’t just cost lives—it undermines global stability.

Humanitarian operations in Gaza continue to be strangled. Food stocks are in perilously short supply. It’s time to flood Gaza with food and reach all families, wherever they are. via World Food Programme

Thank you, Egypt, for enabling World Food Programme to expand humanitarian access and our ability to reach people in Sudan, Gaza and beyond. Important discussion with Minister Abdelatty on how we can strengthen our partnership even further. #UNGA80

#Gaza: "With a daily average of ~ 560 tons of food, we're still below what we need. Roads are blocked & destroyed, which is a huge limitation to transport." World Food Programme "It is very important to have these openings in the north as we've heard, that's where the famine took hold" UN Humanitarian

Since the ceasefire, World Food Programme has delivered 6,700 tons of food into #Gaza, enough for half a million people for two weeks. "People are hopeful; there is cautious optimism," says Abeer Etefa of World Food Programme.

Daily deliveries of aid continue to enter Gaza as the fragile ceasefire holds. So far, World Food Programme delivered 6,700 tons of food, enough for half a million people for 2 weeks. But the current daily delivery of 750 tonnes is still below the target of 2,000 tonnes, stresses Abeer Etefa.

"This is where the journey to recovery starts." Over the past 3.5 weeks, World Food Programme has distributed food parcels to over one million people in the #Gaza Strip. "We need more border crossings to be opened and more access to key roads inside Gaza," says Abeer Etefa.

As winter approaches in #Gaza, families who’ve endured two years of war face the cold with little left to protect them. Sustained support is critical to help people rebuild their health, nutrition, livelihoods - and their lives.
