Already struggling after losing homes to Israeli military operations, Palestinians face hardship as WFP halves aid. Because of the money shortage, the number of people receiving assistance was reduced this month from 1.6 million to 1.1 million in Gaza and from 4,00,000 to 2,00,000 in the West. UN agency will reduce assistance as winter approaches, with nearly all of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents displaced and 2/3rds relying on food.
