How Israel's policies created famine in Gaza
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report reveals that half a million people in Gaza, a quarter of the population, are facing famine. As the world's leading hunger monitor, the report attributes the dire situation to Israel's "systematic obstruction" of food entering Gaza. The report highlights indicators such as starvation, malnutrition, and mortality, with at least two out of three thresholds confirming famine conditions in Gaza. Despite international pressure, Israel's restrictions on aid entry persist, leading to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the region.
