WFP cuts West Bank aid amid funding squeeze, Gaza relief may follow

The World Food Programme says it will halve West Bank food assistance due to funding shortages, warning that Gaza relief could face further cuts. In the West Bank, 76% of households have seen income declines and about a third cannot afford a nutritious diet; in Gaza, many families are going hungry, with about one in five eating only one meal daily and half running out of food at least once in the past month. August aid deliveries through Kerem Shalom reached over 600,000 people, but ongoing hostilities and movement restrictions keep conditions dire, with more than 2 million displaced and widespread damage to infrastructure.
