A World Food Programme spokesperson said on Tuesday that supplies into Gaza were ramping up, but were still far short of its daily target of 2,000 tonness because only two crossings into the enclave are open.

"To be able to get to this scale-up, we have to use every border crossing point right now," World Food Programme spokesperson Abeer Etefa told a Geneva press briefing.

She added that only two crossings were operational — Kerem Shalom and Kissufim — but that none were open into the famine-hit north.
