New Study Finds Food Supply to Gaza More than Sufficient for Population's Needs
(Times of Israel) Jerermy Sharon - A group of Israeli academics and public health officials conducted a study on the amount of food entering Gaza during the war and concluded that the supply from January through April is sufficient for the population's daily energy and protein needs. They found that the mean energy availability in the food delivered to Gaza across four months was 3,163 kcal per person, per day. This significantly exceeds the widely accepted standard of 2,100 kcals per person, per day. The authors concluded that "the amount of food delivered per capita should be sufficient for the entire Gazan population." They also found that the amount of food entering Gaza was "significantly greater" in the January-April period than in the pre-Oct. 7 period.
