Let’s not forget this situation is not rooted in crop failure, drought or UN funding reductions. The core of the problem comes from a single source; a cruel Israeli siege. Something your article does not directly mention except when it is alluded to in the second photo and its caption. Nevertheless we appreciate that you are keeping Canadians informed of this terrible situation.
To the AP and CTV newsrooms,
I am writing on behalf of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) regarding your article “UN food agency halves West Bank aid because of funding shortages, warns new cuts may be needed” published on September 1, 2026.
I want to thank you for this article and its accompanying images that convey the ongoing and desperate struggle for food and water in Gaza and the West Bank. It is heartbreaking to see downtrodden Palestinians suffer even more hunger and humiliation and your article presents the facts of the matter clearly and with some context. Your pictures are even more effective in telling the story, especially in humanizing the desperation and exhaustion that the people are experiencing.

Thank you for reading and I hope in future reporting you will name the “who” that is responsible. Israel is the reason the UN World Food Program is needed in the West Bank and Gaza in the first place.
Sincerely,
Jeff Winch
