The World Food Programme (WFP) thanked Japan for a “life-saving contribution” of 400 million Japanese yen (approximately $2.7m) to provide emergency food and nutrition assistance to severely food-insecure Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, Al-Jazeera reports.
“I am meeting families and parents who struggle to secure the most basic needs, even if it just means putting one meal a day on the table,” said Antoine Renard, country director of WFP Palestine.
According to WFP figures, some $303m is needed for the agency’s operations in Gaza and the West Bank until the end of 2024.
