On Tuesday, UN Humanitarian Coordinator Ramesh Ramasingham said that 576,000 people are one step away from famine and virtually the entire population desperately needs food resulting in some aid trucks being shot at, looted, and overwhelmed by hungry people.
Ramasingham said the north faces a severe humanitarian crisis due to limited supplies and the destruction caused by Israel's military operation.
He noted the UN Security Council on Tuesday there is "every possibility" the situation could deteriorate further.
Ramasingham said one in six children under the age of two in northern Gaza are suffering from “acute malnutrition and wasting,” where the body becomes emaciated.
