There is now a “total breakdown” of society across the Gaza Strip amid a level of devastation this is “absolutely staggering.”

That’s according to Jonathan Dumont, Head of Emergency Communications for the World Food Programme (WFP) who has just been in the enclave and told UN News in an interview that a way “must be found” to get food in for desperate civilians, to head off the risk of widespread famine.

Speaking from Gaza, he told Khaled Mohamed many children no longer have shoes as the cold winter bites, and many feel they have no choice but to return to home that in many cases, are “literally rubble.”
