1.4 Million Palestinians Face Severe Food Crisis in Gaza as WFP Cuts Aid

From the report

The food crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip of Palestine is taking a more severe turn. According to data from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), approximately 1.4 million people in the strip are facing a severe food crisis. The reduction in food aid further heightens fears of the crisis worsening.

WFP announced that due to funding shortfalls, they are forced to reduce their food assistance operations in Gaza by one-third. This could leave approximately 500,000 people without aid. Additionally, vulnerable families are now receiving only half the amount of food assistance they previously did.

Highlighting the current situation in Gaza, WFP’s Country Director Sean Hughes told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that people in the strip are still not safe. Airstrikes are ongoing daily, and residents are constantly being forced to move from one place to another.
