WFP says struggling to distribute food within Gaza

WFP’s Carl Skau says the main challenge for the team is not getting food to the borders but distributing it inside Gaza, Al Jazeera reports

“Our main concern at the moment is in the south. Since the operation in Rafah, we’ve had to move our offices and our warehouses to Deir el-Balah further north and we are now struggling to assist hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced from Rafah,” he said.

“Food, basic food commodities are available but we’re extremely concerned about the protection crisis and water and sanitation crisis. There is deep concern about the trajectory of the situation in the south.”
