Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: Reaching the Point of No Return

The UN World Food Programme warns that half of Gaza's population is starving as fighting continues in the region. Only a fraction of the supplies needed have been able to enter Gaza, and nine out of 10 people cannot eat every day. Israel says it must continue air strikes on Gaza to eliminate Hamas and bring Israeli hostages home. Movement in and out of Gaza has been heavily restricted, limiting aid deliveries. The WFP insists that a second border crossing is needed to meet the demand for food. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accuses the US of being complicit in war crimes after it vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.
