Gaza has entered a phase of "actual famine," Hamas said, after the UN’s World Food Programme announced it has exhausted its food supplies.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney urged Israel to allow the World Food Programme to work in Gaza, saying food must not be used as a 'political tool', hours after the UN agency ran out of stocks due to a sustained Israeli blockade on supplies.

The United Nations World Food Programme humanitarian organization announced Friday that all of its food stocks for families in Gaza has run out.
