Shafaqna English- Food insecurity in Gaza will worsen without more funding, the UN World Food Program (WFP) warned on Friday. “The situation will deteriorate,” Ross Smith, WFP’s director of emergency preparedness and response, said in response to Anadolu’s question during a UN briefing in Geneva. Smith said the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report showed the number of people facing acute food insecurity had fallen to 1.4 million from 1.6 million, reflecting about a 10% improvement. It’s not a story of recovery; it’s a story that humanitarian assistance is working,” he said.” According to Smith, WFP needs more than $420 million to sustain operations across Gaza and the occupied West Bank through the end of the year.
