ICSFT denounces the recent announcement by the World Food Programme (WFP) stating cuts in food aid affecting about 190,000 impoverished Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank - half of all its recipients there, citing a severe funding shortfall.

The UN agency said it will suspend food assistance to 27,000 people in the West Bank as of January . In addition, food aid to 165,000 people in the Israeli-occupied territory and in the Gaza Strip would be reduced by 20 percent.
