[^1]\n\nHugh Hughes, the WFP representative in the Palestinian territory, stated that food needs have more than doubled in two years, yet the organization now lacks the funds to support nearly 900,000 people facing food insecurity. [^2]\n\nThe UN World Food Program announced on Tuesday that it is reducing its assistance in the West Bank by half due to a lack of funding, limiting aid to 200,000 beneficiaries. [^3]\n\nThe UN World Food Programme (WFP) stated that it must cut food aid for the West Bank by approximately 50% due to a lack of financial support. [^4]\n\nIran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Kyrgyzstan that Iran is ready to return to the ceasefire deal reached with the United States in June if Washington reciprocates. [^5]\n\nThe UN World Food Programme (WFP) announced today that it is cutting its humanitarian assistance to the West Bank by half, reducing the number of beneficiaries to 200,000 people. [^6]\n\nThe UN World Food Programme warned of further cuts in Gaza, where it supports 1.5 million people, unless it receives urgent new funding. [^7]\n\nThe UN World Food Program warns that the funding shortage also threatens its operations in Gaza, where it supports 1.5 million people, with one million receiving monthly food aid. [^8]\n\nThe WFP estimates that over one-third of the population in the West Bank struggles to cover basic needs and afford nutritious food. [^9]\n\nThe WFP reported that the need for food aid in the West Bank has more than doubled since 2023. [^10]\n\nThe WFP stated it requires an additional 333 million euros (386 million US dollars) to combat hunger in the Palestinian territories. [^11]\n\nThe WFP stated that nearly one million people, representing a quarter of the population, are acutely dependent on support, yet only 400,000 were previously reached.
