WASHINGTON — A top U.N. official said Friday that hard-hit northern Gaza was now in “ full-blown famine ' after more than six months of war between Israel and Hamas and severe Israeli restrictions on food deliveries to the Palestinian territory.Cindy McCain, the American director of the U.N. World Food Program , became the most prominent international official so far to declare that trapped civilians in the most cut-off part of Gaza had gone over the brink into famine.
But aid coming through the sea route, once it's operational, still will serve only a fraction — half a million people — of those who need help in Gaza. Aid organizations including USAID stress that getting more aid through border crossings is essential to staving off famine.Children under 5 are among the first to die when wars, droughts or other disasters curtail food.
