UN plan to distribute one million meals in Gaza is ‘on track’: Humanitarian Chief

Tom Fletcher, UN under secretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief co-ordinator, said late on Friday the plan to distribute one million meals a day across Gaza is “on track” as he visited the strip. “When a ceasefire holds, we can really quickly rebuild, we can get the food production working again,” he said in a video published on X. “This is going to head off the starvation that we’ve seen – by opening up these bakeries, these kitchens, by pumping out food at this level – we want to get a million meals out there every day, and we’re on track to do that,” he added.
