UN: 500,000 in Gaza face food shortage
The United Nations World Food Programme has warned that a funding shortfall has led to a reduction in its assistance in Gaza, leaving around 500,000 people without monthly food support in a region where one-third of the population is experiencing severe food insecurity. Assistance has been cut from 1.6 million to 1.1 million people, food rations have been halved, and cash aid is now provided to about 75,000 families. Additionally, hot meals have decreased from 250,000 to 150,000 per day, and some families are now receiving only one meal every two days. Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians in Gaza face critical levels of food insecurity, with about 200,000 of their lives at risk as a result. The program warns that the situation is deteriorating further as winter approaches and urgently needs $450 million to sustain its operations in Gaza and the West Bank. Food security is now severely threatened, and humanitarian conditions continue to decline despite the ceasefire agreement reached last year, which has yet to be fully implemented.
