WFP warns of Gaza aid cuts due to funds
The World Food Programme has warned of the potential for widespread reductions in humanitarian aid in Gaza due to funding shortages, as approximately 70% of the population depend on food assistance to meet their basic needs. Although there was a temporary improvement in food security between April and June, projections indicate that the number of hungry people will increase from 1.2 million to over 1.4 million by December, as aid decreases. The program requires more than $420 million to sustain its operations until the end of the year and has already begun reducing aid, with larger cuts potentially planned for October if the funding crisis persists, amid rising operational costs due to international conditions.
