The headline no one wanted: famine in Gaza City
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has confirmed famine in the Gaza Governorate, including Gaza City. Translation:
Families have almost no food access ;
Dangerous child malnutrition is widespread;
People are dying of hunger daily.
Analysts warn famine could spread to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis without rapid access and scale-up. About 514,000 people are already in famine conditions, potentially 641,000 if nothing changes. Global health leaders continue to call for a ceasefire and unrestricted aid .
