HIGHLIGHTS
• North Gaza remains under siege since early October, with humanitarian agencies unable to reach people in need. Urgent international effort is required to allow the delivery of critical assistance and grant humanitarian agencies access to the area.
• As winter approaches, WFP warns that the lack of food and other vital humanitarian supplies entering the Gaza Strip could soon escalate into famine unless immediate action is taken. In October, WFP has only reached 42 percent of the 1.1 million people targeted for food assistance in Gaza, with reduced rations due to dropping aid levels.
• WFP is also deeply concerned about the new Israeli legislation affecting the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). UNRWA is indispensable in providing lifesaving aid and social services in Gaza. If implemented, this decision will have devastating consequences for the most vulnerable people
