Spread of Gaza famine has been averted yet strip still faces starvation: Report

A new IPC report shows famine in Gaza has been averted since the October ceasefire, but over 100,000 people still face catastrophic hunger, with conditions remaining fragile.

  • On Friday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reported the spread of famine in the Gaza Strip was averted, yet the entire strip still faces starvation.
  • Following the ceasefire, reduced fighting and better deliveries helped reverse shortages as people now receive two meals daily instead of one in July, Antoine Renard said Thursday.
  • Aid groups report large shelter needs as winter approaches, with nearly 1.3 million Palestinians requiring emergency shelter and more than 70% living in makeshift shelters relying on humanitarian access.
  • In its worst-case scenario the IPC warned renewed conflict or halted aid could trigger famine, with nearly 2,000 people facing catastrophic hunger through April.
  • Israeli authorities and international coordinators offer conflicting delivery assessments as COGAT and the Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected IPC findings, while American officials say aid meets the 600 trucks daily stipulation.
