Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported11m ago
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has announced it will reduce its food assistance in Gaza, impacting approximately 500,000 individuals due to a significant funding shortfall. The agency's reach will decrease from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million, a reduction of roughly one-third of its previous caseload.
Despite these cuts, the WFP will continue to provide aid to 1.1 million people, which represents approximately half of the population in the Palestinian territory. The decision follows ongoing financial constraints facing the organization's operations in the region.
