Displaced West Bank Palestinians Face Growing Hunger After UN Cuts Food Aid

Fawza Awad, a 75-year-old widow displaced from Tulkarem refugee camp in January 2025 during an Israeli military operation, now lives with her family in a small, unfinished house belonging to her daughter. Her family has received no World Food Programme assistance for five months after the agency cut the number of food-aid recipients in the occupied West Bank by 50 percent in September, citing funding constraints. The WFP said about 900,000 people in the West Bank face food insecurity, and food needs have more than doubled since 2023.
