World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

On 14 November 2012 the Israeli Air Force (IAF) launched an airstrike that targeted and killed the acting chief of Hamas’ military wing and one of his associates. This incident was followed by an escalation in violence ending on 21 November with a declaration of a cease fire. In the aftermath of the conflict, the Agriculture, Food and Cash for Work Sectors embarked on a rapid qualitative assessment to determine the impact of the conflict on the population’s food security status by analyzing food production, availability, accessibility and access stability during and in the aftermath of the conflict.
