The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is halving its food assistance in the Israeli-occupied West Bank because it faces severe funding shortages. The move reduces the level of support provided in that area while WFP evaluates the impact of the funding gap.
WFP says the decision is linked to the broader humanitarian funding situation, including the risk of further reductions in Gaza. The agency warns that it may be forced to make additional cuts there, where it currently supports about 1.5 million people. Different outlets report the same core rationale—insufficient funds—and frame the West Bank adjustment as part of a wider need to prioritize resources across locations.
Overall, the reports describe a single WFP aid reduction affecting West Bank beneficiaries, paired with a warning that Gaza operations could also be scaled down if additional funding does not materialize.
