World Food Programme halts aid to Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank.

The World Food Programme (WFP) will suspend food aid to over 200,000 Palestinians from next month due to a "severe" shortage of funds, the group's senior official for the Palestinian territories said on Sunday. The most impacted families are in the Gaza Strip, where food insecurity and poverty are the highest, and in the West Bank. Unless funding is received, WFP will be forced to suspend food and cash assistance entirely by August due to security concerns with Hamas.
