The UN World Food Program (WFP) said on Thursday that food security and child nutrition conditions in the Gaza Strip have improved, but remain vulnerable due to limited humanitarian access, with only one aid crossing currently operating.

The Rome-based agency reported “an improvement in food security and child nutrition across the Gaza Strip,” but “cautioned that the progress, driven largely by expanded access to humanitarian food, nutrition, agricultural and health assistance, remains fragile.”

The WFP said that while humanitarian access has increased, only the Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem crossing in southern Gaza remains open, restricting the movement of essential supplies.

The agency noted a “significant” rise in food and nutrition assistance since the October 2025 ceasefire agreement. In May, food packages reached around 1.5 million people, while approximately 700,000 people received cash assistance and 60% of children under the age of five received nutritional support.
