> Funding shortages are forcing the UN World Food Programme to sharply reduce aid in Gaza: monthly assistance will fall from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million, and food rations will be halved. A year after the ceasefire took effect, around two-thirds of Gaza’s population still faces crisis-level food insecurity or worse. The WFP says the cuts reflect a lack of funds, not reduced humanitarian need.
