GAZA, April 25 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it has run out of food stocks in the Gaza Strip as border crossings remain closed.
"Today, WFP delivered its last remaining food stocks to hot meal kitchens in the Gaza Strip. These kitchens are expected to fully run out of food in the coming days," the WFP announced in a statement.
According to the organization, hot meal kitchens have been the only consistent source of food assistance for people in Gaza for weeks. "Despite reaching just half the population with only 25 percent of daily food needs, they have provided a critical lifeline," read the statement.
