After 6 months interruption WFP is distributing family food parcels containing essential cooking items like oil, salt, lentils, sugar, pasta, tomatoes paste and canned beans in Gaza. In the first three months of the ceasefire, as part of its general food distributions, WFP aims to feed up to 1.6 million people (roughly 320,000 families) with bread, wheat flour and family food parcels.
As part of the scale-up, WFP will also scale up the number of bakeries it currently supports from nine to 30 in the coming weeks, dramatically increasing access to fresh bread. Today 100,000 bundles (2kg) of fresh bread are being produced daily for communities in need.
WFP is expanding its nutritional support for pregnant and breastfeeding women. As wel as providing nutritious snacks for children in ‘temporary learning spaces’ set up in place of schools. These snacks help students stay energized and focused throughout the day, supporting their learning and well-being.
Since the ceasefire began (11 October), WFP has dispatched more than 530 trucks into Gaza to support bakeries, nutrition programmes and general food distributions. The tonnage, around 6,750 mt, is enough to feed 480,000 people for two weeks. The quantity of WFP food coming in each day (average 750 mt) is still below our target but shows progress from the average in the week before the ceasefire (630 mt).
To deliver at scale, WFP requires all crossings to be open, especially those in the north. Over 170,000 metric tons of food commodities managed by WFP are ready for dispatch now or on route, via Ashdod, Egypt, Jordan, and the West Bank corridors. That’s enough staple food to feed the entire Gaza population of more than two million people for a up to three months.
WFP will continue to lead on logistics support for the broader humanitarian system, as well as helping to provide emergency telecoms and coordination for the food security sector for maximum reach with partners.
