The World Food Programme announced that funding shortages forced it to reduce food assistance in Gaza by about one-third, leaving 500,000 people without its assistance. It said food rations were halved and warned that fragile improvements in food security could reverse. The cut illustrated how the humanitarian crisis continued after the ceasefire amid destroyed livelihoods, dependency on aid, and international funding shortfalls.
