@hannabattah: The United Nations has cut food assistance to 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza and 200,000 in the West Bank because of a funding shortage, according to the head of the U.N. food agency. The head of the World Food Program, Carl Skau, is urging the international community to provide $450 million so the organization can restore assistance and provide food in the regions for the next 6 months. Skau, who had just visited both territories, told the U.N. correspondents that life in Gaza remains “absolutely brutal” and incredibly dangerous, with U.N. teams recording about 50 attacks each day in the last week. In the West Bank, Skau reportedly said escalating attacks by Israeli settlers have amplified food insecurity. During his visit, Skau said he saw burned down olive fields, camps and villages. “The settler attacks over these first two weeks of harvest have already surpassed the whole of last year in terms of number of attacks,” he said, according to the Associated Press.
