WFP ends aid for 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza amid funding cuts
Original: Cuts force World Food Programme to end support for half a million Palestinians in Gaza By Emma Graham-Harrison in Jerusa
The World Food Programme has been forced to halt support for half a million people in Gaza because of funding cuts, the Guardian reports. Two-thirds of Gaza's population already face crisis levels of food insecurity, and around 200,000 people are at risk of famine. The cutbacks come as humanitarian agencies warn that needs in the territory remain acute while international donations fall far short of what is required.
Why now: The scale of hunger in Gaza combined with shrinking aid budgets makes the withdrawal of food assistance from so many people urgent news.
