The World Food Programme has suspended monthly food assistance to roughly 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza due to insufficient funding, according to Al-Monitor. The cuts come as two-thirds of Gaza's population faces acute food insecurity, leaving hundreds of thousands newly without aid amid the territory's humanitarian crisis.
The UN agency warned that the funding shortages are forcing it to scale back operations significantly across Gaza, compounding hardship for a civilian population already struggling with severe scarcity of basic supplies and services.
