Funding shortages force World Food Programme to cut aid to Gaza
The number of people helped by the UN agency in the Palestinian territory will drop by about a third - from 1.6 million to 1.1 million.
Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is urging the world not to forget the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. In a video appeal for the UN refugee agency UNRWA, Guardiola emphasizes the need to remember the individual lives lost and the human impact of the conflict. He warns against language that distances us from their pain and stresses the importance of solidarity and ongoing support for UNRWA.
The Israeli military has killed over 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Guardiola highlights the resilience of the Palestinian people while lamenting the harsh reality they face, stating that no child should grow up learning to survive before learning to live. He calls for an end to silence and urges the world to stand with Palestine in its pursuit of justice and peace.
