Food aid in Gaza<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

20 July 2006 – <\/i>WFP food aid continues to enter Gaza through the Karni crossing. From July 17-21, the agency delivered over 500 of wheat flour into Gaza, with another 1,505 due to enter next week.<\/p><\/div>\n

Thanks to the Karni opening, WFP now has four days of emergency food stocks in its Gaza warehouse to cover its expanded caseload of 220,000 people – around 50 percent of the non-refugee population (16 percent of the total Gaza population). <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

WFP currently needs around 3,000 metric tons per month in Gaza.<\/p><\/div>\n
