World Food Programme stops provision to half a million people in Gaza over lack of funding

The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced the suspension of food aid for more than 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza. The decision to halt provisions to half a million people was driven by a critical lack of funding.

Despite slashing food provisions to Palestinians, the aid organization has described the ongoing situation in Gaza as 'brutal.' Palestinians have continued to arrive to collect remaining food rations amid the disruptions.
