Two years of relentless war have left Gaza in ruins. Humanitarian conditions are catastrophic—entire communities face hunger, trauma, displacement, and the collapse of essential services. The most vulnerable—women, widows, single mothers, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities—struggle to access aid, especially when unable to reach distribution points.
Despite these unprecedented challenges, WFP has remained on the ground throughout the conflict, adapting daily to shifting frontlines to reach those most at risk. WFP has piloted new delivery models, from food convoys, support to bakeries resumption and nutrition programmes to digital payments, doing everything possible to avert famine-like conditions and save lives.
Between 27 July and 8 October, WFP has delivered nearly 55,000 mt of food assistance, representing roughly one-third of all trucks entering Gaza. These efforts have helped stabilize food prices and improve access to food. Gaza urgently needs food and aid at scale. A ceasefire remains essential to enable sufficient and equitable distribution to the most vulnerable.
