Cuts force World Food Programme to end support for half a million Palestinians in Gaza

·The Guardian·Impact 4/5 · High
MeridStreet AI summary

The World Food Programme has stopped providing support to over half a million Palestinians in Gaza each month due to aid cuts. This decision comes as two-thirds of the population face severe food insecurity, with 200,000 people at risk of famine. The situation is likely to worsen this winter, as promised reconstruction efforts have stalled and many rely on aid to survive. This cut will have significant economic implications, particularly for the already vulnerable population in Gaza.
