A United Nations-backed panel has warned that famine is imminent in the Gaza Strip, citing 13 months of war and a substantial likelihood of starvation.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification panel stressed that urgent action is required within days to alleviate immense suffering in Gaza, which houses 2.2 million people.
Conditions in Gaza saw brief improvement from May to August due to humanitarian assistance, but they drastically worsened recently, with September recording the lowest aid inflow.
U.S. officials warned that failure to enhance humanitarian aid could influence America’s military support for Israel, urging concrete steps to increase aid delivery into Gaza.
