Food supply improving in Gaza since truce but long way to go, says UN
The World Food Programme has delivered 40,000 tons of food since the October ceasefire but reached only 30% of its 1.6 million people target amid ongoing challenges.
- Since the October 10 ceasefire, the U.N. World Food Programme has brought 40,000 tons of food into the Gaza Strip, but winter rains risk spoiling supplies despite increased aid flows.
- Two years of war left Gaza's urban areas devastated, and high food prices with a chicken costing $25 leave many Palestinians in Gaza reliant on aid after the October 10 ceasefire.
- WFP officials say they have met only 30% of the parcel target, reaching around 530,000 out of 1.6 million people due to logistical issues earlier this month, while Penner noted, `If they go near the market, she tells them to cover their eyes.`
- Hundreds of thousands remain in urgent need, and at least half a million people were said to be experiencing famine in parts of the enclave, underscoring urgent risks.
- The WFP says it is now starting to catch up after earlier setbacks, and Martin Penner, WFP spokesperson, said sustained support is essential for families to rebuild health and nutrition.
