State · UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME — $160.0M (XGZ)
Key claim: The Department of State obligated $160.0 million to the United Nations World Food Programme to provide food and cash-based assistance, prevent malnutrition among pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under five, and support the logistics cluster in Gaza.
Abstract
Department of State obligated $160.0M to UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME, for work in XGZ. PROVIDE FOOD AND CASH-BASED ASSISTANCE TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, PREVENT MALNUTRITION AMONG PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN UNDER FIVE, AND SUPPORT LOGISTICS CLUSTER IN GAZA.
Why this matters
A $160M State Department obligation to WFP is one of the larger single humanitarian awards in this vault and channels US food-security funding through a UN multilateral into Gaza. It also underwrites the logistics cluster, which coordinates humanitarian cargo movement for many other agencies operating in the territory.
