Agencies say health situation is a ‘catastrophe’ and recent aid deliveries were a fraction of what is needed
Briefing the Israeli press after Benjamin Netanyahu’s order to turn off the aid supply to Gaza, government officials claimed that the Palestinian territory had several months’ worth of food stockpiled from earlier deliveries.
