The World Food Programme (WFP) estimates that at the shop level, current stocks of essential food commodities will be sufficient for about five more days.

Cindy McCain, executive director of the World Food Programme, says the situation for the people of Gaza is "catastrophic" with not nearly enough food being sent into the war zone. "We need a clear path to get our food and other humanitarian assistance in safely and continuously. Without that, people are going to die - and they're already dying, women and children." McCain, who is based in Cairo, says she is in contact with Egyptian authorities about moving goods through the Rafah border crossing.
