Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the food status in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and identify the factors contributing to variability in food insecurity. Data was gathered from Palestinian government sources and published statistical data, research papers discovered through queries in the Web of Science, Research Gate, and Google Scholar, and the statistical data from the World Bank, WHO, and FAO. Palestine experienced a critical expansion in food-insecure individuals during 2014, with 1.6 million individuals. The most significant increase was in Gaza, about 60% of the populace, which continued to ascend to 68%. Palestinians have moderate poverty measured at a rate of 30% in 2017, while the highest undernourishment rate at 2118 Kilocalories per capita per day in 2019. The study revealed that some of the prominent factors contributing to food insecurity in Palestine were conflict, climate change, water insecurity, and poverty.
