World Food Programme cuts aid to 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza due to funding shortfall

The UN World Food Programme announced it is cutting critical food assistance to approximately 500,000 people in Gaza—nearly a quarter of the population—due to severe funding shortages. The cuts reduce monthly assistance from 1.6 million to 1.1 million people as winter approaches in a territory where two-thirds of the population struggles with food insecurity.
