Gaza children are facing increasingly severe food shortages, with families struggling to provide nutritious meals. This follows Israel's restriction on commercial goods entry into Gaza on October 14, which disrupted supplies, although a gradual resumption was announced on October 19. Concurrently, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) announced on October 19 that funding shortfalls forced it to cut food assistance in Gaza, reducing beneficiaries from 1.6 million in September to 1.1 million in October and halving food rations. Approximately 1.4 million people in Gaza are now facing acute food insecurity, and over 2,800 children were admitted for malnutrition treatment in September.
