The World Food Programme (WFP) has expressed its readiness to expand operations in the Gaza Strip following the recently announced ceasefire, WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain said on Thursday.
Speaking after the ceasefire agreement, McCain emphasized the urgency of delivering aid to the region. “I join UN Secretary-General António Guterres' call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza,” she wrote on her X account.
McCain stressed that immediate action is necessary to address the humanitarian crisis: “We must act now to deliver food and life-saving assistance. There is no time to waste.” She also highlighted the importance of ensuring unrestricted humanitarian access to the Strip.
“The WFP is on the ground and ready to expand its operations, but we must act,” McCain added, signaling the agency’s preparedness to scale up relief efforts as soon as conditions allow.
The statement comes as the international community watches closely, hoping that the ceasefire will provide much-needed relief to Gaza’s civilians, who have faced prolonged conflict, displacement, and critical food shortages. (ILKHA)
