The World Food Programme has stopped delivering food assistance to approximately 500,000 people in Gaza, the Ma'an news agency reported. The agency provided no details on why the operation was suspended or when it might resume.
The cutoff affects a substantial share of Gaza's population, which has endured widespread food shortages during the conflict and amid restrictions on humanitarian deliveries.
