WFP halves West Bank food assistance on a funding shortfall; 386 million dollars needed over six months (WFP, Sept 1) — article

Source

WFP release (2026-09-01, via GlobalSecurity mirror): assistance in the West Bank cut from 400,000 to 200,000 people while 900,000 are food insecure; 76 percent of households report significant income loss; WFP needs 386 million dollars over the six months from September for two million people across Gaza and the West Bank; Shaun Hughes, WFP Country Director for Palestine, quoted. The humanitarian leg's dated receipt for the Middle East. NOTE for the case: the desk found NO September-dated appeal specific to Europe or the US on this sweep; the WFP March 2026 and CFR May 2026 pieces and the October 2025 WFP funding story are HISTORY (pre-Saudi phase) and were not captured.
