Food security and child nutrition have improved across the Gaza Strip, but remain fragile because only one aid crossing point is open, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) said yesterday. The Rome-based organisation noted “an improvement in food security and child nutrition across the Gaza Strip,” but “cautioned that the progress, driven largely by expanded access to humanitarian food, nutrition, agricultural and health assistance, remains fragile.” “While access into Gaza has improved, only one crossing – Kerem Shalom/ Abu Salem – in the south of Gaza remains open, limiting the flow of essential goods,” the World Food Programme (WFP) said in a statement. There has been a “significant” increase in food and nutritional aid since the ceasefire agreement was reached in October 2025, it said. More than 70 percent of Gaza’s cropland is not accessible and only 3 percent is currently usable, the WFP said.
