The shortages come amid continued border crossing closures and restrictions on commercial and humanitarian supplies, limiting the availability of fruits, vegetables and other essential goods. Declining imports and reduced humanitarian food assistance have raised concerns about a renewed risk of famine across the Gaza Strip. Funding shortages have prompted the World Food Programme (WFP) to reduce the number of daily hot meals it provides from 250,000 to 150,000, adding to concerns over food insecurity and access to basic necessities.
