One hundred days into the ceasefire, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announced it has significantly expanded its life saving operations across the Gaza Strip, reaching more than one million people each month.
The Programme stated that "while critical progress has been made in pushing back famine, the situation remains extremely fragile," stressing "Border crossingsآ must stay open,آ volumes of food aid and commercial goodsآ must keep flowing, andآ the ceasefire must holdآ if we are to prevent Gaza from slipping back into the worst levels of hunger."
In Gaza, bakeriesآ continue to be a vital lifeline.آ By supporting bakeries, WFP provides food and jobs.
