Council warns of Gaza relief funding cuts
The Palestinian government announced that the World Food Program has halted aid to nearly half a million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip due to a lack of funding. This threatens the continuity of the relief system and worsens the suffering of impoverished families, orphans, and persons with disabilities, while also leading to increased malnutrition rates among children and pregnant women. The government called on the international community and the United Nations to provide the necessary funding to ensure the ongoing delivery of aid, and pressured the occupying forces to open the crossings and facilitate the flow of humanitarian supplies. Additionally, the government is working on projects to rehabilitate homes and establish shelter centers for those affected. Amid rising settler attacks on Palestinians in the Zaytoun area and the withholding of Palestinian tax revenues for over a year, as well as the funding shortfall, the government has taken measures to ensure the payment of employees' salaries.
