UN World Food Programme says its food stocks in Gaza are 'depleted'

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that its food stocks in Gaza are completely "depleted", saying it has delivered its "last remaining food stocks" to local kitchens.

The WFP cautioned that Gaza would run out of food "in the coming days", with more than 400,000 people in the besieged enclave relying on its aid.

Israel's ongoing humanitarian blockade of Gaza, which began on 2 March, has forced residents to survive on food supplies stored during the ceasefire earlier this year.
