Calls grow for UN food agency to cut Palantir contract
Original: Calls mount for UN World Food Programme, which feeds over a million people in Gaza, to quit contract with Palantir
Pressure is building on the UN World Food Programme to end its contract with US tech firm Palantir. The agency feeds more than a million people in Gaza, and critics argue its partnership with a company linked to Israeli military and intelligence work is incompatible with its humanitarian mission. Advocacy groups and observers are calling on the agency to sever ties.
Why now: Ongoing controversy over tech companies' links to the war in Gaza has put humanitarian agencies' corporate partnerships under scrutiny.
