Funding shortages force UN to cut food aid for 500,000 people in Gaza
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has announced cuts to food assistance in Gaza, leaving 500,000 Palestinians without its monthly support as funding shortages threaten efforts to prevent hunger across the territory. The agency said that it would reduce the number of people receiving food and cash assistance from 1.6 million to 1.1 million. Families who remain eligible will also receive smaller food parcels, less flour and reduced financial support.

Two or more outlets reported this story and its reliability score reached 65%, so WorldPulse marks it verified. That means more than one outlet says so, not that it is proven true.
Who reported it
[Claude] The outlets differ: Report 2 covers the same WFP funding-driven food aid cut in Gaza but gives a different beneficiary figure (700,000 versus 500,000), which cannot both be true for the same announcement.
