"Humanitarian organisations including the World Food Programme and Unwra, which supplies food and services to more than 2 million Palestinians across Gaza, have now distributed the last of their stocks of flour and other foodstuffs to the dozens of community kitchens in the territory that serve basic meals to those with no other option.

Aid groups’ warehouses were filled during the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that came into effect in mid-January and ended in early March. They are now empty."

On the "brink" of catastrophe might be an understatement. The place has been in full blown catastrophe for over a year.

It can always get worse. "Only" ~200000 deaths from Israel's actions for now, or ~10% of the population, which Israeli pieces of shit see as "90% still to go". One can imagine how a total famine can speed up the genocide significantly.
