The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated to an alarming level. A staggering 1.1 million people are now facing famine, which means they do not have reliable access to an adequate and nutritious food supply. This dire situation is exacerbated by dwindling essential resources and a severe scarcity of food.
As the conflict persists and humanitarian aid struggles to reach those in need, the specter of famine looms large over Gaza, posing a grave threat to the lives and well-being of over 2 million people.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a tool used to determine the severity of food insecurity. Phase 1 represents minimal food insecurity, while Phase 5 is classified as famine—marked by extreme hunger, malnutrition, and mass starvation.
