WFP Scaled Staple Deliveries In Gaza
- The World Food Program ramped up to about 100 trucks a day and provided roughly one-third of staple food entering Gaza recently.
- Despite increased volumes, shortages of fresh food and distribution gaps mean needs remain acute.
Access, Not Just Supply, Limits Aid
- Displaced Gazans often cannot afford to travel from north to south where supplies exist, sometimes borrowing up to $1,000.
- Economic barriers limit access even when aid reaches markets, worsening food insecurity.
Prepare To Surge Humanitarian Aid
- Humanitarian groups should preposition supplies and staff across borders to surge when access opens, ensuring immediate scale-up.
- Prepare inventory and teams for at least a three-month response to stabilize populations quickly.
