"A key international food insecurity monitor retracted a report warning of imminent famine in Israeli-sieged north Gaza after the Biden administration pressured the group to do so."
"Despite a tranche of evidence showing that FEWS NET's finding that Palestinians in north Gaza are experiencing famine-level hunger is accurate, U.S. officials pushed FEWS NET to retract the report."
"Many human rights advocates have noted that official famine declarations often happen belatedly, not until long after conditions have reached catastrophic levels."
"While the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) insisted on a retraction, the accusations of outdated data fail to address the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza."
