Gaza Food Insecurity Worsens Amid WFP Aid Cuts Despite Ceasefire

The World Food Programme (WFP) has reduced food aid to Gaza by approximately one-third, impacting 1.4 million people and suspending assistance to 500,000 Palestinians due to critical funding shortfalls. This reduction occurs despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, indicating that humanitarian access and resource constraints persist and are exacerbating the risk of famine. The exact duration of the aid reduction and the full scale of the affected population remain uncertain.
