WFP Cuts Gaza Aid Over Funding Shortfall
The Gaza Strip is facing a dire humanitarian crisis as a result of the World Food Program's decision to halt monthly aid to nearly half a million Palestinians due to a lack of international funding. This decision decreases the number of beneficiaries receiving food and cash support to one million people, approximately half of the sector's population, despite the ongoing critical humanitarian needs and the continuous deterioration of living conditions. The main obstacles remain the lack of security, ongoing displacement, and restrictions imposed by the occupation on aid entry. Health and nutritional conditions for children are also worsening, with two-thirds of the population suffering from food insecurity and lacking essential assistance. There are growing fears that the crisis will worsen further with the approaching winter and the worsening situation of displaced people.
