Rome: The head of the UN's World Food Programme warned Thursday that famine-hit Gaza is "at breaking point", appealing for the urgent revival of its network of 200 food distribution points.
"Enough is enough," the WFP's executive director Cindy McCain said after visiting the besieged Palestinian territory, where Israel is pressing operations in its offensive against Hamas.
"Gaza is at a breaking point. Desperation is soaring -- and I saw it firsthand," McCain said in a statement.
Her comments come less than a week after the United Nations declared a famine in Gaza, blaming the "systematic obstruction" of humanitarian deliveries by Israel.
McCain went to Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah, where she visited a nutrition clinic keeping children alive and met with displaced mothers who struggle daily to find scraps of food.
