A report from the United Nations that explains famine in areas of Gaza has caused a word war about the circumstances in the enclave.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) issued a report on Friday in which it stated for the first time that the Gaza Gouvernement is experiencing a famine. Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis are now in a serious crisis. The circumstances in northern Gaza are estimated to become just as serious as those in the Gaza Government or worse. The IPC report does not touch the circumstances in Rafah, because it is largely considered to be depopulated.
The IPC, an initiative supported by the UN in which UN agencies, NGOs and technical experts are involved, is generally considered the global standard for classifying food crises.
Israel has strongly pushed back against the findings of the report, with the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said it was “an outright lie.” While spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Marmorstein claimed that the report “tailor -made” was based on “Hamas is washed by organizations with established interests” and denied that there is a famine in Gaza.

“Israel has no hunger policy. Israel has a policy to prevent starvation,” wrote the Prime Minister’s office in a thread on X with Israeli data about the situation in Gaza.
Marmorstein also claimed that IPC “twisted its own rules and ignored his own criteria to produce false accusations against Israel.”
In the report of 22 August, the IPC was expected to expand the famine to Deir Al-Balah and Khan Younis at the end of September, leaving 641,000 people in famine conditions. The report predicts that the number of people in the IPC phase 4 (emergency) circumstances will rise to 1.14 million, while 198,000 will be in a crisis.
In its recommendations, the IPC calls for an immediate cease-fire, a guarantee for unconditional and safe humanitarian access, protection of civil infrastructure and large-scale humanitarian aid.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation: what about the auxiliary group supported by the US
After the report was released, UN Secretary General António Guterres sentenced the Jewish state to X.
“This is not a mystery-it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Hungarian is not just about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for the survival of man,” Guterres wrote to X. “Since the occupied power can continue with the duty of the population.”
Guterres ended his message with calls for a ceasefire -fires, unobstructed humanitarian access and the return of the hostages.

UNICEF Official says that Gaza is reaching malnutrition ‘Hunger levels’, while humanitarian aid drips in
The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), UNICEF, the World Food Program of the United Nations (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO), all of which participate in the IPC, repeated their call for an immediate humanitarian reaction and ceases.
The coordination of Israel for government activities in the territories (COGAT) closed the IPC for confidence for Hamas-run entities, UNRWA reviews and “non-repairable sources,” while ignoring the data from Jerusalem.

While Israel blames the hunger crisis in Gaza, the UN’s own data shows.
Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and a former civil servant of the White House and the National Security Council during both Trump administrations, appointed the reports of the report and called them politically motivated.

Goldberg also noted that the timing of the report, which came just a few days after Israel said that the Gaza City would enter – that lies in the Gaza Gouvertiger – “the most telling part of it was.”
The American ambassador in Israël Mike Huckabee shared a statement from the Netanyahu office and said that “tons of food went to Gaza, but Hamas Savages stolen it, much of becoming a corpulent, sold on the black market, but they didn’t give it to the hostages.”

Fifty hostages have been held in Gaza for almost 700 days. It is assumed that 20 are alive, while the rest are confirmed to death. Hamas holds their remains. Earlier this month, the terror group published a video of hostage Evyatar David who seemed extremely thin and said he hadn’t eaten for days.
