The “worst case of famine“takes place in the Gaza Under the deadly offensive of Israel, the world’s leading body on Hunger said on Tuesday.
“Growing evidence shows that widespread famine, malnutrition and disease lead to an increase in hunger deaths”, the Integrated food security phase classificationOr IPC, said in an alert. The IPC pointed out that its warning was an alert and was not a “classification of the famine” formal.
The alert comes as famine death in the enclave continues to go up in the middle of a Spiral hunger crisis Stimulated by aid restrictions on the military and paralyzing offensive of Israel.
President Donald Trump Monday has echoed the global alarm to the situation, which, according to him, was equivalent to a “real famine” – a break with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Although the IPC considers itself as the “main mechanism” used by the international community to conclude whether a famine occurs or projected, it generally does not make such a designation. But he said on Tuesday that with new information available, a new IPC analysis should be carried out “without delay”.
The report marked the most disastrous warning to date of the IPC on the hunger crisis which takes place in Gaza.
“Immediate measures must be taken to end hostilities and allow an unhindered humanitarian response, on a large scale and vital,” said the IPC. “This is the only way to stop new dead and catastrophic human suffering.”
“This report confirms what we see in the field”, Bceki
Its conclusions occur after weeks of warning of humanitarian groups and health workers in the field of famine spreading in the enclave, with the crew of NBC News, testifying to the parents who cry the bodies of their babies suffering from malnutrition, and fragile children clinging to life while they receive hospital care.
World indignation has reached a crescendo on the humanitarian situation in a spiral, Israel allowing Only basic aid in the enclave for weeks since the lifting of a Paralyzing blockade in May This has prohibited the entry of food and other vital supplies in the territory.
The World Food Program warned on Monday that a third of the enclosure population “did not eat for days”, with some 470,000 people who lasted “famine type conditions” and around 90,000 women and children who need “urgent nutritional treatment”.
In the meantime, More than 1,000 people were killed In recent weeks, by Israeli forces in desperate attempts to achieve what limited aid is distributed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the enclave, largely under a new largely condemned distribution system led by the United States and Israel Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Faced with growing condemnation, the Israeli army began limited breaks in the fighting During the weekend in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day to allow the entry and distribution of aid into the enclave by humanitarian groups – but help organizations have warned that the aid net so far was not enough to avoid famine in the enclave.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that nearly 150 people in Gaza have died of malnutrition since the start of the war, including at least 88 children.
The total number of people has been killed in Gaza since the start of the war has almost reached 60,000, including thousands of children, according to the Ministry of Health.
Israel launched its offensive in Gaza following the October 7 attacks led by Hamas in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 hostage, marking a major escalation in a conflict of decades.
Since then, Israel has faced allegations of assembly of genocide on its assault against Gaza, including in a case in progress by South Africa before the International Court of Justice. On Monday, two eminent Israeli rights groups, B’tselem and doctors for human rights-Israel, echoed allegation, concluding that their country was committing a genocide.
Israel and the United States have always denied it.
Israel sought to justify both of its aid restrictions and the introduction of a new distribution system by arguing that Hamas has diverted the help of civilians in the enclave throughout the war. But an internal analysis of the American government has found no evidence of systematic theft of assistance supplies by Hamas, according to a report presented to the officials of the State Department and later seen by NBC News.
The Israeli army rejected the report as “biased”.
