Malaysia | Aid reaches hundreds of thousands in Gaza amid severe food insecurity

Market Impact

Humanitarian aid is reaching hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza as food insecurity deepens, with one in five families surviving on a single meal a day and half reporting complete food shortages at least once in the past month, according to latest United Nations figures.

In Malaysia, the conflict’s economic impact is being monitored closely, with analysts noting potential disruptions to regional trade and supply chains, particularly for food and energy sectors. The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) reported that three-quarters of Gaza households have struggled to access markets this month due to ongoing hostilities and restrictions.

Yesterday, the UN and its partners transported hundreds of pallets of supplies—including food, fuel, adult diapers, and school materials—through the Kerem Shalom crossing, a key entry point linking Israel, Egypt, and Gaza. Over 600,000 people have received food parcels and wheat flour in August alone.

Despite a ceasefire signed in October 2025, sporadic violence and security constraints continue to hinder recovery efforts. More than two million people—nearly Gaza’s entire population—have been displaced, with most living in temporary shelters. Around 90% of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and water plants, remains heavily damaged or destroyed.
