WFP State of Palestine Emergency Response External Situation Report #64

05 September 2025

Highlights:

• WFP continues to reach Gaza’s most vulnerable under near-impossible conditions. After nearly five months of suspension, WFP digital payments/ewallets injected USD 2.8 million in August to support families cut off from aid. Additionally, WFP’s malnutrition treatment activities resumed, reaching 1,757 pregnant/breastfeeding women. Nearly half a million meals were delivered via 99 community kitchens operated by 19 food security partners. However, these efforts are still insufficient to address the massive needs in the Strip.
• Since 27 July, WFP has brought in 34,900 mt of food and over 8,000 pallets of partner aid through the two operational Gaza crossings (Zikim and Kerem Shalom). However, organized food distributions remain unviable due to crowd dynamics, convoy attacks, and severe congestion, which put civilians and staff at serious risk.
• Without a ceasefire and safe and reliable conditions, WFP and partners cannot reactivate their food distribution network in a sustainable manner.
