Hunger experts warn of high famine risk as Gaza faces crisis levels of hunger
Summary: Hunger experts report that over 1.8 million people in Gaza, about 86% of the population, are facing crisis levels of hunger. Although the number of those in catastrophic hunger has decreased, the risk of famine remains high as the conflict continues.
Israel has resumed food shipments to northern Gaza after a two-week halt, but humanitarian aid is still limited. The U.S. has warned Israel to increase aid or risk losing military support, as the situation in Gaza worsens with winter approaching.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warns that conditions could deteriorate rapidly. Ongoing military operations and evacuation orders have disrupted aid efforts, leaving many residents in dire need of food, water, and medical supplies.
