WFP Palestine’s Emergency Response External Situation Report #77 (Reporting period: 1-22 Dec 2025)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Despite severe access constraints, WFP’s sustained delivery of food assistance has continued to achieve measurable improvements in Gaza’s food security, with the latest IPC update confirming that famine conditions are no longer present anywhere in the Strip. However, these gains remain fragile and highly reversible. The entire population continues to face Emergency-level (IPC Phase 4) food insecurity, with needs remaining extreme. Ongoing access disruptions, weather-related shocks, and upstream supply constraints continue to threaten coverage levels and ration adequacy. Maintaining and expanding humanitarian access is therefore critical to prevent a reversal of gains and further deterioration.
  • While persistent access restrictions and upstream supply constraints continue to limit WFP’s ability to deliver assistance at the scale required, at the end of the reporting period, WFP was able to restore rations to 75 percent, after a temporary reduction to 50 percent earlier in the reporting period, by prioritizing additional wheat flour to help meet basic household food needs. Sustaining and further scaling this progress will require more predictable deliveries at scale, along with easing access constraints.
  • Positive results and findings from WFP’s November 2025 post-distribution monitoring underscore the importance of sustaining current assistance levels while gradually transitioning to more food systems, market-driven and diversified response modalities.
