The UN World Food Programme has reduced its beneficiaries in Gaza by roughly half a million people, from 1.6 million to 1.1 million, citing insufficient funding. The cuts take effect as winter approaches, narrowing assistance during a period of heightened need, Shehab Wire reported.
The programme did not specify when the reductions would begin or provide details on selection criteria for those losing aid access.
