Cindy McCain, the executive director of the World Food Programme (WFP), has spoken out about the challenges faced by her organization in delivering aid to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. During an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, McCain emphasized the need for full unfettered access to the region in order to effectively distribute supplies.
McCain expressed frustration with the inconsistency in the delivery of supplies, noting that while some trucks are able to enter Gaza, it is not happening at a consistent or sufficient scale. She attributed these challenges to political barriers that are hindering the agency’s efforts to provide aid in a timely and effective manner.
Recently, the WFP revealed that only nine convoys have been able to reach northern Gaza since the beginning of the year. McCain highlighted this issue and called for increased political support to allow for more consistent and efficient delivery of aid to those in need.
