\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629<\/a><\/p>\n 14 August 2024<\/p>\n Amid the<\/span>\u00a0ongoing conflict, shifting battlefronts, and the challenges and restrictions on humanitarian\u00a0assistance, all operations are\u00a0hanging by a thread.\u00a0However, thanks to the generous and unwavering\u00a0commitment of the Government of Japan, WFP\u00a0is able to\u00a0continue its humanitarian response\u00a0on the ground.\u00a0This contribution will allow WFP to\u00a0procure\u00a0Japanese\u00a0canned fish and wheat flour, to provide highly nutritious and essential meals for\u00a0approximately 312,000\u00a0people\u00a0coping with recurring displacements.<\/p>\n M<\/span>r. NAKASHIMA Yoichi, H.E. Ambassador for the Palestinian Affairs \/\u00a0Representative of Japan to Palestine, said\u00a0\u201cThis support embodies Japan\u2019s commitment to continue its contribution to supporting Palestinian food security and to reach lasting peace in\u00a0Palestine and its neighbouring country.\u201d<\/p>\n For over ten months now, continued hostilities, destruction, displacement, and hunger have shaped in the Gaza Strip, pushing over two million people to full dependency on humanitarian\u00a0<\/span>assistance.\u00a0The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report findings show that the entire population of Gaza \u2013 2.2 million people \u2013 faces\u00a0high levels of food insecurity,\u00a0with\u00a0around 69 percent of the\u00a0population in Emergency\u00a0and\u00a0Catastrophic levels of food insecurity.\u00a0As the war in Gaza continues, increased violence and movement restrictions have severely\u00a0impacted the economy and daily life in the West Bank,\u00a0leading to\u00a0devastating humanitarian consequences. WFP estimates the escalation of violence in the West Bank could push at least 600,000 people into food insecurity, marking\u00a0a\u00a042.1 percent increase since the beginning of\u00a0the war.<\/p>\n \u201cI am meeting families and parents who struggle to\u00a0secure\u00a0the most basic needs,\u00a0even if\u00a0it just means putting one meal a day on the table.\u00a0This\u00a0assistance is lifesaving; it will help\u00a0families put ready-to-eat food on their tables and have access to a\u00a0key\u00a0staple, bread. We extend our\u00a0profound appreciation to the people of Japan,\u201d says Antoine Renard, Representative and Country Director of WFP Palestine<\/strong>. \u201cThe ongoing support from the Government of Japan is crucial to support efforts at preventing famine and alleviating suffering in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n WFP is providing essential food\u00a0<\/span>assistance to over\u00a01.3 million people across Gaza and the West Bank every month, while simultaneously working to restore and strengthen collapsed food systems. WFP\u2019s food distribution efforts\u00a0extend to\u00a0United Nations shelters, communities, and temporary camps, delivering ready-to-eat meals and free bread or wheat flour to those in need. Despite\u00a0the\u00a0ongoing challenges that WFP\u00a0faces in\u00a0delivering lifesaving food daily to Palestinian families, generous contributions from esteemed donors,\u00a0like the Government of Japan, ensure this vital lifeline\u00a0remains.<\/p>\n Having extended its steadfast support to WFP, making substantial contributions of around US$<\/span>\u00a034 million over the past five years, including over US$ 21 million since the outbreak of the current conflict,\u00a0Japan stands among WFP’s pivotal donors in Palestine and is one of the foremost contributors\u00a0to WFP\u2019s emergency operations\u00a0in Gaza and the West Bank\u00a0since the outbreak of the current conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629 14 August 2024 Ramallah \u2013\u202fThe United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomed the lifesaving contribution of JPY 400 million (US$ 2.5 million) to provide emergency food and nutrition assistance to severely food-insecure Palestinians affected by the ongoing war in Gaza and violence in the West Bank.
