Palestine crisis – food assistance support - WFP 2026

About this project

The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies, saves lives by quickly getting food assistance (cash or in-kind) to vulnerable food insecure populations and helps prevent hunger. As the global lead agency for logistics and emergency telecommunications, WFP plays a major role in providing common services for the humanitarian community. It transports humanitarian workers, carries light cargo for humanitarian agencies and carries out emergency medical and security evacuations. This project operates in Palestine, where the United Nations estimates 3.62 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. With the support of Global Affairs Canada (GAC), WFP helps provide targeted food assistance to vulnerable populations to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity and protect livelihoods. Project activities include: (1) distributing food and cash-based transfer; (2) providing supplementary feeding for children under the age of 5 years, and pregnant and lactating women; and (3) providing logistical support and enabling access to the most remote and challenging locations.
