The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) announced Monday it must halt food supplies to half a million residents in the Gaza Strip due to a lack of funding. The WFP has been a critical food source in Gaza since the war began, providing sustenance to approximately 1.6 million people, or 90% of families, since the ceasefire. Aid is distributed through food packages, flour sacks, community kitchens, bakeries, and educational centers that have replaced schools. The cuts will affect about 500,000 individuals out of the 1.6 million currently receiving aid. A UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report indicated that over 2,800 children in Gaza were treated for malnutrition in September alone.
