Gaza food aid cuts

Symbolic image: Gaza food aid cutsSymbolic image

Where things stand

The World Food Programme has cut Gaza food aid by 50% with immediate effect, citing a lack of funds. It warns of smaller rations and further cuts without new funding, and points to Israeli restrictions on aid entry and distribution.

Gaza's roughly displaced population relies heavily on international food aid delivered by agencies such as the WFP. Deliveries depend on donor funding and on access allowed by Israel, which controls most crossings and has restricted aid entry and distribution.
