UN halves West Bank food aid amid funding crisis, warns of Gaza cuts · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) is significantly reducing its food assistance in the West Bank, cutting aid to 200,000 people from 400,000 due to severe funding shortages. The agency also warned of potential further cuts in Gaza, where it supports 1.5 million people and has already reduced cash assistance. WFP urgently requires an additional $386 million over six months to meet the needs of approximately 2 million food-insecure individuals across both regions, citing economic downturn, increased violence, and disrupted livelihoods as factors deepening hunger.
