The UN reported On Thursday, the organization and its humanitarian partners announced that they have delivered food and essential supplies to more than 600,000 people in Gaza this month. However, organizations such as the World Food Program (WFP) warn that severe hunger across the territory continues to worsen despite ongoing relief efforts.
The United Nations and its partners collected supplies at the Kerem Shalom border crossing and distributed a range of essential items, including food, fuel and hygiene items, to families across the territory. Around 90 percent of civilian infrastructure is severely damaged or destroyed by the ongoing unrest in the Middle East. And about half of the families surveyed in Gaza reported that they had completely run out of food at least once in the past month.
The WFP said A report said the vast majority of households in Gaza had difficulty buying food this month, with some families having to survive on a single meal all day. Almost half of the families surveyed reported that they had completely run out of food at least once in the past month. The WFP attributed the crisis to a combination of cash shortages and food prices, which have risen sharply since fighting intensified in October 2023.
A joint assessment released in July by the Food and Agriculture Organization, UNICEF and WFP found that around two-thirds of Gaza’s population, about 1.4 million people, continue to live in crisis or worse conditions of acute food insecurity, although this number has fallen from 1.6 million at the end of 2025. The agencies cautioned that improvements depended on continued access and funding, and they warned that renewed hostilities or disruptions to aid could quickly reverse recent progress.
As air strikes continue to hit Palestine, millions of people are displaced and in need of shelter and essential household items such as food, energy, fuel and water.
