DATELINE : PLEASE CHECK SHOTLIST FOR DETAILS
20 FEBRUARY 2025, GAZA CITY
1. Various shots, Gazans returning to north
With the influx of thousands of internally displaced people into northern Gaza, there is a need to ensure that enough cooking gas regularly reaches the area, as well as sustained shelter, water, and sanitation services. Temporary shelter remains the top priority, with thousands still sleeping outdoors. The WFP-led Logistics Cluster has expanded transport operations and is prioritizing tents and shelter items at the Humanitarian Coordinator's request

2. Various shots, Gazans returning to north
19 FEBRUARY 2025, KEREM SHALOM
3. Various shots, Trucks entering Rafah from Egypt
More than 30,000 metric tons of WFP food have entered Gaza, double the monthly average of around 12,500 metric tons during the second half of 2024. More than 70,000 tons of food – enough to feed over a million people for about 3 months – is either waiting outside Gaza or en-route from Jordan, Egypt and Ashdod. WFP continues to repair and remove rubble from essential roads/key supply routes to allow for faster transportation of aid, on behalf of WFP and humanitarian partners.

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Antoine Renard, WFP Palestine Country Director:
“Thanks to the ceasefire, the World Food Program has been able to reach within a month 1 million people. They have the right level of food parcels, the wheat flour bag is being provided, the bakeries are up and running, we have more than 25 that are out there, we managed to have more trucks, more capacity, more logistic outreach, yet at the same time it's only a month into the ceasefire. It is very fragile. We need to make sure that it is sustained because the situation remains very dire. Most of the population in Gaza are living still in rubble, tents are coming, but the flow of assistance needs to be sustained.”

7. Various shots, Iman and her children
Displaced from their home Iman and her children live in a tent and receive WFP food parcels and bread.
The World Food Programme (WFP) reaches one million people in Gaza as ceasefire allows more food deliveries and distributions across the Strip.
The World Food Programme today (24 Feb) announced that the ceasefire in Gaza has allowed it to bring in more than double the monthly average of food it delivered prior to the ceasefire being in place. This has enabled the agency to provide full food rations, restock and reopen bakeries, and reach families across the entire Gaza Strip.
Below is an overview of WFP’s operations since the ceasefire:
WFP has reached one million people with a full range of assistance, including food parcels, hot meals, fresh bread and cash assistance.
More than 30,000 metric tons of WFP food have entered Gaza; more than double the monthly average of around 12,500 metric tons through the second half of 2024.
The agency is now distributing food in the North Gaza governorate, which had been cut off for 80 days between October and December 2024.
More than 60 kitchens across the Strip have handed out nearly ten million meals, prioritizing hard-to-reach areas. Kitchens are also expanding in North Gaza and Rafah. Other kitchens are relocating based on needs and population movement.
There are 25 bakeries now operational in the north, middle and south areas, which are producing more than 150,000 bread bundles per day – five times more bread than prior to the ceasefire.
More than 116,500 pregnant and nursing mothers, and children under five, have received over 3 million packs of nutritional supplements.
More than 70,000 tons of food – enough to feed over a million people for about 3 months – is either already prepositioned outside Gaza and available at Jordan, Egypt and Ashdod corridors, or is in transit to, or expected to arrive at these corridors.
WFP provided cash to 24,000 families during the ongoing ceasefire response and plans to gradually extend support to 150,000 families by the end of 2025; however, immediate funding is essential to implement this initiative.
WFP is increasingly concerned about the tense situation in the West Bank where more than 40,000 people have been displaced since mid-January 2025. WFP had already been assisting vulnerable populations in the West Bank with cash assistance, reaching 190,000 people last month; the agency also provided one-off cash assistance to more than 5,000 people displaced from Jenin camp.
WFP needs US$254 million over the next six months to provide emergency assistance for up to 1.4 million people in Gaza and the West Bank.
