The World Food Programme has slashed aid to families in the occupied West Bank by half despite humanitarian needs more than doubling over the past two years, UN News reported. The cuts stem from a severe funding shortfall that has forced the agency to reduce assistance across the territory.
The reduction comes as health concerns mount in Gaza, where the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate. Families already struggling with poverty and displacement now face deeper food insecurity. The WFP serves populations across both the West Bank and Gaza, where conflict and economic hardship have driven growing numbers of Palestinians into urgent need of emergency food assistance.
