Gaza News | IPC Confirms First Middle East Famine In Gaza City Post Israeli Aid Restrictions
Gaza City has officially been declared in famine by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) — the world’s top authority on food crises. This marks the first confirmed famine in the Middle East. The IPC says famine is gripping Gaza City and could soon spread south to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis. More than half a million people face catastrophic hunger, while Israel denies the existence of famine, calling the report “false and biased.” The grim milestone comes after nearly two years of war, aid restrictions, and widespread displacement, leaving Gaza’s population at the brink of starvation.
