News - Middle East: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that famine is imminent in the northern Gaza Strip.

Israel continues to hinder aid deliveries to the region.
The WFP's Palestine Country Director Matthew Hollingworth said in a video filmed in Gaza on Tuesday that children were going to sleep hungry and exhausted.
Malnutrition among children is proceeding at a record pace, and one in three children below the age of two is now acutely malnourished or “wasted.”
“There is nowhere else in the world where so many people face imminent famine. Here in Gaza City, we're at the epicenter of the crisis, here in the Gaza strip. Today I've met so many people who are angry and tired and despairing because their children go to sleep every night hungry,” Hollingworth said.
The WFP has only managed to send 11 convoys with food to the north since the start of the year, he said.
