World Food Programme Reduces Gaza Aid Due to Funding Shortages
The UN agency will support 1.1 million people instead of 1.6 million following financial constraints.
The World Food Programme is scaling back assistance operations in Gaza. Financial constraints are driving the decision. The agency will now serve fewer individuals across the Palestinian territory.
The beneficiary count will fall by approximately one third. The organization previously supported 1.6 million people. The updated figure stands at 1.1 million.
The reduction follows the October 19, 2026 announcement. The UN agency cited insufficient funding as the primary cause for the scaled back program.
