May 13 (UPI) -- The United Nations relief agency said Monday it's concerned more than a million Palestinians in Gaza might starve if advocates can't raise $60 million in food money by next month.
The U.N. Relief and Works Agency said half of Gaza's population depends on food aid from international donations, and 620,000 are living in abject poverty. In 2000, that figure was fewer than 80,000. The agency said many are attempting to survive on less than $2 per day.
