Provision of food voucher assistance to around 20,000 poor and severely food insecure Palestinians in Gaza
Project completed

WFP’s voucher programme targeting 20’000 poor and severely-food insecure persons assisted by the Ministry of Social Development are directly at risk. SDC’s additional contribution to WFP will cover the needs of these social hardship cases for a period of 2 ½ months.
