# Israel is blocking all but a trickle of humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, says the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, with almost no ready-to-eat food entering what its spokesperson described as the hungriest place on earth. Spokesperson Jens Laerke said only 600 of 900 aid trucks had been authorised to get to Israel’s border with Gaza. He said it is mostly flour that get distributed, but it still has to be cooked. Laerke stressed 100-percent of the population of Gaza is now at risk of famine.
