UN World Food Program Halves Food Aid in West Bank Due to Funding Shortages, Warns of Gaza Cuts

The United Nations' World Food Program (WFP) has announced it is halving food assistance in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, reducing aid from 400,000 to 200,000 people, due to severe funding shortages. The agency also warned that further cuts may be necessary in Gaza, where it supports 1.5 million people, unless new funding is secured. This exacerbates an already dire food security situation in the region.
