Four out of every five families in Gaza face 'critical or catastrophic' hunger levels, UN warns

The spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, warned that 94 percent of Gaza's over 2.1 million population are in need of shelter and basic household assistance.

Dujarric also indicated that more than four out of five families face "critical or catastrophic" levels of hunger in their shelters - which lack fuel, energy and essential household items.
