The United Nations World Food Programme says nearly all of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are in desperate need of food assistance.

Food, water and aid supplies into Gaza have been minimal since Israel imposed a siege nearly six weeks ago.

For a second day, no aid trucks have arrived in Gaza due to a lack of fuel for distributing relief. Israel says it will allow two tankers of fuel into Gaza each day to support the water and sewage systems to prevent disease.

Juliet Twomer from the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees says the humanitarian situation is overwhelming.

With more on the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Gaza, The ABC's Middle East correspondent Allyson Horn filed this report from Jerusalem.
