The World Food Programme says it has managed to deliver twelve trucks of humanitarian aid to Gaza. But that could just meet only four percent of people's needs there. An official told CGTN that at least forty trucks of food need to enter Gaza on a daily basis, to feed the more than one million displaced people there. With the rainy season fast approaching, living conditions in Gaza are expected to worsen into a disaster. Earlier, reporter Huang Yue talked to Samer Abdeljaber, Representative and Country Director of World Food Programme Palestine about what Gaza is facing.

HUANG YUE CGTN Reporter "Since October 21, trucks started to enter Gaza. So far, how many WFP trucks have entered Gaza? And what are the main items on the trucks? How many people have received these supplies?"

SAMER ABDELJABER Representative and Country Director World Food Programme Palestine "It's like we say a drop in the ocean. So far, 12 trucks entered for WFP that represents less than four percent of all the commodities that are needed to enter into Gaza, because the number of people is increasing. They are in need of food. It includes mainly ready to eat food, canned food, high energy biscuits that people can consume on the go, because we cannot enter normal commodities because of the lack of fuel or cooking gas at the moment. So we're distributing it at shelters where there's limited facilities that it's overcrowded. At the same time, we are starting today, we started today, actually, with community assistance where we are going to the people in the communities and making sure that we are giving them food assistance."

HUANG YUE CGTN Reporter "How many are still in urgent need?"

SAMER ABDELJABER Representative and Country Director World Food Programme Palestine "All the commodities that I have arrived is basically distributed immediately. That's not something sustainable. If we want to reach the 1.1 million, the WFP is planning to reach for now, we need at least 40 trucks of food every day. So that's why I'm saying it's very, very much limited amounts and we need to really scale it up."

HUANG YUE CGTN Reporter "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that now the military has opened a second stage war against Hamas, and it will be long and hard. In the long run, what kind of food crisis will this war bring to the Gaza Strip?"

SAMER ABDELJABER Representative and Country Director World Food Programme Palestine "What we are saying now is from the data that we have in the situation on the ground, we're already at the threat of starvation. We are at the threat of dehydration. We are at the threat of people not eating healthy food, and that would have a health consequences. The rainy season haven't started yet. It's on the doors now. So imagine the catastrophe that we will see at the shelters, one shelter, just to give you an example, where many of my colleagues have actually had to escape to includes 25,000 people that are displaced, it has eight toilets. So you can imagine what does that mean from a hygiene perspective? And if rain comes, what would happen? So we might be looking at the disease in infectious diseases that could spread in the Gaza Strip if the situation is not controlled and humanitarian assistance is not entered into Gaza. So that's the real concerns that we were really worried about."
