Palestine
For decades, Palestine has faced a humanitarian crisis. Now, violent conflict has pushed hundreds of thousands of people into catastrophic levels of hunger.
HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION CRISIS
The conflict has pushed people into catastrophic levels of hunger. The ceasefire brought some much-needed relief, but it was far from enough to cover the immense needs. The World Food Programme (WFP) continues to provide emergency food assistance to people.
90% of Gaza’s population is displaced due to the conflict.
Over 2 million people in Gaza are facing extreme levels of hunger.
WFP is ready to reach over 1 million people in Gaza.
What’s Causing Hunger?
WFP’s Work in PAlestine
The World Food Programme has worked in Palestine since 1991. We provide food assistance to people facing the most extreme forms of hunger.
In October 2024, WFP immediately launched emergency operations to provide urgently needed food assistance. We have provided food and cash to more than 1 million Palestinians since the start of the conflict.
We assist people in Gaza and the West Bank through in-kind food assistance, including wheat flour, chickpeas and lentils, as well as electronic vouchers. Palestinians can use the vouchers to buy foods of their choice at their local shops.
To help them build resilience to climate shocks, WFP equips small-scale farmers with agricultural training and tools. These assets help them to adapt their livelihoods while supporting their local economies.
