MANCHESTER, England, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Human Appeal, a global humanitarian aid
organization, is teaming up with United Nations World Food
Programme (WFP) to supply and deliver the equivalent of
1,470,588 hot meals to approximately 8,196 people each day in
Gaza up to the end of June 2024. The aid comes at a critical time where
famine is looming over Gaza, with
children and families in desperate need of food and supplies.
"We are committed to providing aid for as long as the people in
Gaza are in dire need," said Dr.
Mohamed Ashmawey, CEO of Human Appeal. "No human should endure the
hunger people in Gaza are
experiencing, and Human Appeal is grateful to WFP, partners and
donors who enable the delivery of critically needed relief
aid."
According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
(IPC) report, 1.1 million people in Gaza are struggling with catastrophic hunger
and there are growing cases of malnutrition along the Gaza strip. Human Appeal is supporting WFP to
provide essential nourishment through items such as lentils, green
beans, pasta, rice, canned beans, flour, freekeh, and more to keep
hunger at bay.
"We are grateful for this new partnership with Human Appeal
which comes at a critical moment. Together, we are dedicated to
providing emergency assistance to families who are in desperate
need of humanitarian assistance in Gaza." said WFP UK Director Geraldine O'Callaghan.
