Israel rejected a report supported by the United Nations that stated Hunger Nood in Gaza and claimed that it contained ‘gross falsifications’. An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that Jerusalem would lobby donor countries to lower the financing unless the report is withdrawn.
In a report of 22 August, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said that the famine is already taking place in the Gaza Government and will probably spread to Deir Al-Balah and Khan Younis by the end of September. The report said that approximately a third of the approximately 2 million inhabitants of Gaza-OnVereer could be confronted with 641,000 people in short with catastrophic hunger.
According to the IPC, 132,000 children under the age of 5 are expected to suffer acute malnutrition until 2026, including more than 41,000 serious cases. It said that more than 55,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women require urgent food support.

The report blamed almost two years of war, the relocation of 1.9 million people, the collapse of local food production and serious restrictions on help. It noted that even when food comes in Gaza, much fails to reach citizens.
Israel rejected the findings flat, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Eden Bar Tal, that reporters told that the IPC had committed “gross falsifications” and had manipulated his own evidence to explain famine.
Bar Tal said that the IPC 182 killed killing to reach the famine threshold of 188. He accused the group of violating his own rules by using a malnutrition measure blocked in Gaza, depending on clinic -based samples that are forbidden and surveys with cherry picking. He claimed that from 15,749 respondents, the IPC used only 7,519, enough to push the results above the famine levels.
“The IPC report is forged for political purposes. The IPC data undoubtedly manipulated and ignored, brought its own rules and hidden conflicting evidence,” Bar Tal, said that the report was manufactured with the aim of supporting “Hamas’s hunger campaign”.

Israel says the UN world is misleading while Gaza Aid has been stolen and diverted from citizens
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a formal letter that demanded the withdrawal of the report and warned that if it is not withdrawn, Israel encourages donors to freeze the financing to the IPC “until the professional credibility is restored.” It also spread a PowerPoint presentation entitled “The IPC fraud”, which described the process as “shoot the arrow and then draw the target”. One slide is: “The facts are clear: the IPC report has been forged.”
During a meeting of the Security Council on Wednesday, Dorothy Shea, the acting American ambassador of the UN, said that hunger was a real problem and had a priority for the US, but also the IPC report.
“We can only solve problems with credibility and integrity. Unfortunately, the recent report of the IPC was also not successful for the test. One of the most important authors of the report has a long -term record of bias against Israel, including openly justifies of the Houthi -terrorist attacks on Israeli Civil Stage, he said that the normal goal of this DeCaratie.

He said that the IPC was dependent on “recent and verified” UN agency data flows, including WHO, UNICWA and WFP, while also takes into account figures from Israel’s coordinator of government activities in the areas (COGAT).
About the question of whether Hamas “exploitation of help in the help, Dujarric said that the report” illustrates the limitations that hinder humanitarian organizations from spreading help and standing in the way of getting the help they need. “
