World Food Programme cuts aid to 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza, citing funding shortages
Middle East4 sources3 countries1m ago
The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced it will discontinue food assistance for 500,000 people in Gaza due to a significant funding shortfall. Despite these cuts, the organization plans to continue providing aid to approximately 1.1 million individuals, which represents about half of the territory's population.
The reduction in services comes as the region faces severe food insecurity, with reports indicating that two-thirds of the population is currently experiencing crisis levels of hunger. With an estimated 200,000 people at risk of famine, the WFP warns that the upcoming winter season is expected to further exacerbate the humanitarian situation for Palestinians in Gaza.
