Cindy McCain, Executive Director of the World Food Programme, warned of a "full-blown famine" in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen have threatened to expand their maritime operations if Israel proceeds with a ground offensive in Rafah, as Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is destroyed.
The United Nations warns of a surging famine crisis in Afghanistan, where more than half the population is malnourished. While President Biden authorized $3.5 billion in frozen Afghan assets for humanitarian aid, the funds have yet to be released due to the lack of an international financing mechanism. Aid agencies warn that the crisis could lead to further regional destabilization.
The World Food Programme warns that Libya faces a full-blown food security crisis within 60 days due to disrupted port activities and fuel shortages. The hosts suggest that NATO is using starvation as a tactic against the Libyan population rather than simply maintaining a no-fly zone. They compare the situation to historical instances of engineered famine used for political control.
