UN Food Agency to Slash Aid for Over 700,000 Palestinians Due to Funding Shortages

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has been forced to cut food assistance to more than 700,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank due to severe funding shortages. The number of people receiving aid in Gaza has been reduced from 1.6 million to 1.1 million, and in the West Bank, it has been halved from 400,000 to 200,000. The WFP's acting head urged the international community to provide $450 million immediately to restore the cut assistance and sustain vital food programs for the next six months.
