WFP halts Gaza food aid harming food security
The United Nations World Food Programme has announced the halt of monthly food aid to approximately 500,000 people in the Gaza Strip due to a lack of funding. This development threatens their food security and deepens the humanitarian crisis in the region. The number of beneficiaries will decrease from 1.6 million to 1.1 million people, with food rations halved, cash assistance reduced, and hot meals decreased from 250,000 to 150,000 daily. Some families will only be able to have one meal every two days. This decision comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions, where 67% of the population suffers from severe food insecurity, and unemployment has soared to over 80%. Human rights organizations emphasize the urgent need for funding to prevent further suffering among the population, especially with winter approaching and health and nutritional risks increasing.
