FAO is delivering animal fodder to 2 450 households in Gaza to safeguard surviving animals and support local production of fresh nutritious food like milk, dairy, eggs and meat amidst an imminent risk of famine. The fodder is sufficient to provide for about 50 days milk for all children under 10 years of age in Gaza.

About the Project
Israel launched a new assault against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip which began officially on October 7, 2023. In this assault, Israel's occupation army, with full political coverage, targeted all infrastructure installations in Gaza, especially the health sector which was singled out in a systematic and unprecedented manner, indicating the existence of a preconceived Israeli plan to destroy the heath infrastructure in the northern part of the Strip to make it unlivable and to drive its population southwards (the plan had originally envisaged their expulsion to Egypt but when this fell through it was decided to drive that population to central and southern Gaza). This deliberate and systematic targeting campaign vented itself in the indiscriminate bombing of urban quarters and high-rise residential towers in order to butcher the largest number of civilians and to systematically destroy all health facilities, with a view to forcing the population to head southwards where health facilities and medical emergency services had already far exceeded their absorption capacities.
