由于资金短缺,世界粮食计划署暂停对巴勒斯坦人的援助

The World Food Programme (WFP) does not have a lot of money. It cannot help everyone.

The WFP says that they will stop helping over 200,000 Palestinians (巴勒斯坦人) from June. Most of these people are in Gaza and the West Bank. There is not a lot of food. Every month, the WFP gives poor Palestinians vouchers (代金券) or food. People get 10.30 dollars every month. But this will be different. If the WFP does not get more money, they will stop helping completely (完全地) by August.

Some Palestinians protest (抗议) outside the WFP offices. Gaza has 2.3 million people. 45% of them do not have a job. 80% of them need support from other countries.
