A famine is unfolding across Gaza, according to the UN-led Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), which says conditions have “worsened dramatically” in recent months. Gaza’s food consumption is now at its lowest since the Israel-Hamas conflict began, with over a third of the population going entire days without food. Malnutrition and starvation-related deaths are rising rapidly - at least 147 people have died, including 88 children. The IPC reports that famine thresholds have been breached in most of Gaza and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City. Although Israel has eased restrictions on aid entry, humanitarian groups say the volume remains critically insufficient. Aid convoys are often overwhelmed by desperate civilians, and the World Food Programme warns that unless unimpeded and large-scale aid is delivered immediately, mass starvation will intensify. Experts are calling for food, medicine, and essential supplies to be allowed in without obstruction. Despite denials from the Israeli government, evidence from UN agencies, clinics, and aid workers paints a dire picture. Without swift, unhindered intervention, Gaza faces an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
