Food insecurity in Palestine is not common. Before going into details in food security in Palestine, it worth to give a clear definition of food security. The world Food Summit (1996) defines food security as a general state ``When all people at all times have both physical and economic access to sufficient food to meet their dietary needs for a productive and healthy life. Four elements coexist in this definition:







$\bullet$	Food availability --- whether produced locally or imported



$\bullet$	Food accessibility --- where all individuals have access to adequate resources to meet appropriate dietary needs.



$\bullet$	Food stability --- where access to adequate food is permanently secured with no risk of shocks



$\bullet$	Food utilisation --- the consumption of food with adequate sanitation and clean water, and where health care is provided.







The presentation will try to explore the four elements of food security in the Palestinian context. Based on literature review and statistics, the presentation will show that food insecurity in Palestine is not common. It exists not because of a lack of food, but rather, the result of restrictions to economic mobility, the movement of locally produced goods towards populated urban centres and access of workers to jobs and in turn, food. 







In the second part, the presentation will reveal the positive contribution of international food aid in reducing the number of food insecure people in Palestine. At the end, the presentation will raise questions on the sustainability of  food aid in breaking the cycle of poverty and how international community can contribute to a more sustainable situation.
