‘We’re turning the tide on Gaza starvation crisis’ – UN aid chief

The head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has told the BBC the tide is turning on starvation in Gaza, as more aid enters the territory after Donald Trump’s ceasefire deal.

Speaking from Gaza City, Tom Fletcher said “hundreds of trucks a day” were now entering the costal enclave, but warned that it was a “huge” job to get vital supplies to those in need.

He also urged the international community to support efforts to provide a million meals a day and to get the health sector up and running.
