WFP Makes More Cuts to Food Rations in Gaza as Israeli Attacks Increase Displacement Crisis

HeadlineJul 26, 2024

In Gaza, the World Food Programme has been forced to further reduce food rations amid the worsening displacement caused by Israel’s intensifying attacks throughout the besieged territory. Some 96% of Gaza’s population is already facing acute food insecurity, and U.N. experts have accused Israel of carrying out a “targeted starvation campaign.”

On Thursday, Gazans reacted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Wednesday address to U.S. congressmembers.

Abu Mohammed: “For those who have been killed in the Gaza Strip, the majority, 90% of them, are civilians, which is contrary to what Netanyahu said in Congress. … The speech that was delivered yesterday was a trivial speech, trying to mock us like little children. The United States is mocking people, gathering Biden’s supporters and Netanyahu’s supporters in Congress to applaud after every two words. Was that a speech?”
