oPt: WFP Palestine Emergency Response External Situation Report #85, 9 April 2026 (Reporting period: 1-31 March 2026)

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS Seven months into the ceasefire, conditions in the Gaza Strip remain extremely fragile. Humanitarian and commercial cargo are restricted to a single open crossing point, and volumes are insufficient. Constrained deliveries resulted in a reduction in food distributions to half rations during February and March. Different corridors into Gaza, particularly Jordan and Egypt, remain essential to mobilize aid volumes at scale. Food security and nutrition monitoring indicates a precarious situation. Prices of staples including wheat flour prices rose sharply in March while dietary diversity remained inadequate, contributing to rising acute malnutrition among pregnant and breastfeeding women and underlining the need for expanded delivery of commercial cargo including fresh foods and protein sources.
