World Food Programme forced to provide 'reduced rations' for displaced Rafah residents

The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that it is being forced to provide "reduced rations" to residents fleeing Israel's bombardment of Rafah.

"Families that fled Rafah are now in areas with insufficient clean water, medical supplies, fuel, and limited food assistance," said the UN agency in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

"To reach as many people as possible with fewer resources, WFP is forced to provide reduced rations and is prioritising hot meals at community kitchens."
