The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in a dire situation for the population, with many people relying on canned food for survival. The war’s devastating impact on livestock and agriculture has led to food insecurity and malnutrition among the population. The markets are empty, prices are prohibitive, and humanitarian aid is scarce.
To address this urgent need for food, the FAO has introduced barley fodder to support local livestock production and provide fresh and nutritious food like milk and meat to the population. Despite challenges in obtaining permits and security risks, the FAO is determined to continue the distribution of fodder in Gaza.
The FAO emphasizes that combating hunger and malnutrition requires access to a variety of foods, not just bread. The organization’s goal is to prevent famine and promote a balanced diet for the people of Gaza. However, without a ceasefire, it is challenging to sustain food distribution and agricultural support due to ongoing conflict hindering these efforts.
The people of Gaza are facing an unprecedented crisis of food insecurity and malnutrition, with limited access to essential items like clean water and cooking gas. International aid organizations are working tirelessly to alleviate their suffering during these challenging times. They remain committed to providing food security and nutrition to the population despite obstacles they face due to ongoing conflict.
