Cabinet alerts on Gaza relief funding downturn
The article addresses the Council of Ministers' warnings about the humanitarian repercussions resulting from the cessation or reduction of international relief programs, particularly the announcement by the World Food Programme to suspend aid to nearly half a million Palestinians in Gaza due to lack of funding. These decisions threaten the continuity of the relief system and exacerbate the suffering of poor families, widows, orphans, and the elderly, along with the risk of increased malnutrition rates among children and pregnant women. The council highlighted the efforts of the government and its partners to provide shelter, clear debris, and document attacks on olive farmers. It also emphasized ongoing efforts to secure the salaries of Palestinian employees that have been withheld for over a year and a half. Additionally, the council discussed policies related to economic development, health, and food security, calling on donor countries and the United Nations to provide the necessary funding to support Palestinians in the sector and to strengthen measures to protect land and citizens.
