Why it matters:
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has become one of the most critical in modern history. Given the severe restrictions on access to food and humanitarian assistance, the crisis has caused serious and major damage to the daily lives of the people of Gaza.
What he's saying:
Referring to his recent visit to the Gaza Strip, WFP Deputy Executive Director said: "The needs in Gaza are greater than ever and our capacity to meet them has never been so limited."
"WFP staff in Gaza are doing their best to deliver aid, and often find themselves caught in crossfire while accompanying food convoys into war zones," Skau said.
He pointed to the availability of food at WFP and the ability and readiness to deliver aid to the people of Gaza, saying: "During the previous ceasefire in Gaza, we brought eight thousand aid trucks into Gaza, and we can do the same if a new ceasefire is established. Delivering aid requires security and the opening of all roads and entry points."
