Ramersdorf München, Deutschland - The current Situation in Gaza has accepted dramatic proportions, and humanitarian aid is more urgent than ever. A webinar that takes place on July 21, 2025 at 7 p.m. will deal with the peace prospects for GAZA. Organized by the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Tel Aviv, the renowned Martin Rentsch, Head of Communications & Advocacy will take part in the World Food Program (WFP). The online event addresses the challenges of humanitarian aid, which have become even more complex after the withdrawal of the USA and other donor countries.

A turn seems to have emerged in January 2025 when a ceasefire in Gaza was agreed. This ceasefire has made a massive influx of relief goods possible and reduced the risk of famine. According to [wfp] (https://de.wfp.org/stories/waffeßrand-gaza- Mehr-humanitaere-hilfe-menschen-von-hunzersnot-Zurueck), almost 47,000 tons of food aid was delivered by February 13. In addition, the WFP achieved almost 862,400 people with emergency aid, including food packages and warm meals. The resumption of the distribution of warm meals, which started in northern Gazas at 20,000 grinds a day in Beit Lahiya, is particularly gratifying.

challenges and support

But the challenges remain enormous: the prices for food have dropped slightly, but compared to the prices before the conflict, they are still at an extremely high level. For example, eggs are 50% cheaper than in December, but still 1,200% more expensive than before the war. Despite this price development, the WFP has expanded its cash aid to 14,800 households to support local families in their need. These measures are intended to ensure that people in Gaza have access to basic foods.

In the long term, the WFP aims to restore local food production and to give people back their livelihood. For the coming months, the WFP urgently needs $ 219 million in order to be able to help up to 1.5 million people per month. The need to maintain the ceasefire is considered essential by the organization to secure food supply and humanitarian aid in the long term.

conclusion and outlook

The webinar on July 21 will not only examine the conditions for humanitarian aid, but will also discuss possible contributions from Germany. The information collected about the current situation and the challenges of the WFP are of great importance, especially in times when the global community has to stand together more than ever. A good knack for commitment could lead to the help where it is most urgently needed.
