The escalation of the hostilities which began on 7 October in Gaza, has resulted in an unprecedented level of destruction to the infrastructure inside Gaza and displaced nearly 1.7 million people, 75% of the population. The entire population of Gaza is facing high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC 3 and above; crisis or worse) with more than half the population of Gaza facing catastrophic levels of hunger.

WFP has scaled up its presence and operational capacity through various corridors and inside Gaza to deliver life-saving food assistance to more than 1.1 million beneficiaries. Egypt represents one of the major corridors to deliver food into Gaza and accordingly, WFP has established the required Supply Chain structures, capacities, and logistics mechanisms to facilitate the delivery of food from various sources into Gaza.
