Gaza hunger crisis: Two dead after people break into WFP warehouse in search of food

The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) says its warehouse in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah has been broken into by hungry people “in search of food supplies” that were going to be distributed.
WFP said preliminary reports indicate that at least two people died and several others were injured in the incident, but that it is still confirming the details of what happened.
“Humanitarian needs have spiralled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza,” the agency said, adding that it has warned of “the risks imposed by limiting humanitarian aid to hungry people in desperate need of assistance”.
WFP called for an immediate increase in assistance. “This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve,” it said.
