In Gaza, OCHA and its humanitarian partners continue to deliver critical\u202fassistance despite the pressure on Kerem Shalom, the only crossing for cargo.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, humanitarians brought over 270,000 litres of fuel into Gaza to keep critical humanitarian services running, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) collected animal fodder, while UNICEF retrieved more than 240 pallets of supplies – nutrition, medicines and kits containing sanitary pads, toothpaste, body wash, underwear and scarves.<\/p>\n
OCHA reiterates that to scale up the response, more crossings must be opened for the movement of people and cargo.<\/p>\n
Today, FAO announced a scale-up of their cash assistance to reactivate local crop production for an additional 1,000 farmers in Gaza. The assistance builds on a successful pilot from last year, when 200 farmers\u202fmanaged to grow more than 500 metric tons of fresh vegetables with support received through the Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund.<\/p>\n
With today\u2019s scale-up, FAO estimates that farmers will be able to feed some 95,000 people for a whole year by producing roughly 5,000 metric tons of vegetables. This will help address food insecurity while boosting employment and income generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
