Cabinet warns of Gaza relief funding cuts
The Palestinian Council of Ministers warned of serious humanitarian repercussions resulting from the suspension or reduction of assistance programs by some international relief organizations, notably the suspension of World Food Program aid to approximately half a million Palestinians in Gaza due to funding shortages. They emphasized that this halt threatens the continuity of the relief system and worsens the suffering of impoverished families, widows, orphans, and the elderly, with an increased risk of malnutrition among children and pregnant women. The council called on the United Nations, donor countries, Arab and Islamic states, and the international community to provide the necessary funding to support the humanitarian response, while pressuring the occupation to open border crossings and ensure the flow of aid. Additionally, the council discussed the government's efforts to provide shelter and remove debris in Gaza, underscoring the importance of facilitating the work of field teams and cooperating with international organizations. They also directed relevant agencies to intensify oversight of the olive oil market to protect public health. Furthermore, the council highlighted the ongoing occupation's detention of Palestinian tax revenues, reviewed measures to reduce operating costs in public transportation, and initiatives to preserve Palestinian geographic identity. They also discussed initiatives to increase reliance on renewable energy, targeting up to 30% by 2030.
