The hunger “currently playing” in Gaza, supported by UN-beck experts warn

“The worst hunger scenario is currently being played out” in the Gaza tape, the global food security experts warned, supported by Graza.

A signal issued by the Integrated Food Phase phase (IPC) is said to have evidence that widespread fasting, malnutrition and diseases lead to an increase in death associated with hunger from 2.1 million Palestinians there.

“Recent data show that hunger thresholds have been reached for consumption of food in the biggest part of the Gaza tape and for acute malnutrition in Gaza,” she adds.

UN agencies have already warned that Gaza has massive human starvation, and have reported at least 63 deaths related to malnutrition this month. They accused the Israel crisis that controls the entry of all supplies into the territory.

“The facts are in – and they are indisputable. The Palestinians in Gaza withstand a humanitarian disaster with epic proportions,” said UN Secretary -General Antonio Guteres.

“This is not a warning. This is a reality before our eyes. The workpiece of help should turn into an ocean. Food, water, medicine and fuel should flow into waves and without obstruction.”

Israel imposed a total blockade of assistance and commercial supplies to Gaza in early March and resumed its military offensive against Hamas two weeks later, collapsing two months of ceasefire. It says he wants to put pressure on the armed group to release his Israeli hostages.

The blockade was partially relieved after 11 weeks after the Israeli government was under pressure from its allies, but the shortage of food, medicines and fuel deteriorated.

Israel insisted that there were no restrictions on the supply of help and that there was no “hunger”.

However, he has announced in recent days measures aimed at helping the UN and his partners to collect help from intersections and distribute it within gas, including daily “tactical pauses” in military operations in three areas and certain corridors.

IPC says immediate action must be taken to end the hostilities and allow for an unobstructed, large -scale, life -saving humanitarian reaction.

The report does not officially classify gas as a hunger, saying that this can only be done through an analysis that will be held “without delay.”

IPC – a global initiative from UN agencies, help groups and governments – is the main mechanism that the international community uses to conclude whether hunger is happening.

Households are classified as an IPC phase 5 (catastrophe) if they experience an exceptional lack of food, hunger and exhaustion of the management strategies.

In order to be officially declared hunger in a particular area, there must be evidence that:

• At least 20% of households are in Phase 5
• At least 30% of children suffer from acute malnutrition
• There are two deaths of every 10,000 inhabitants per day or four deaths by children from 10,000 children, “due to direct fasting or the interaction of malnutrition and disease”

In May, IPC warned that the entire Gaza population was facing high levels of acute nutritional uncertainty and that 470,000 people (22%) face “catastrophic” levels or phase 5.

The IPC signal, issued on Tuesday, says that the bombing of Israeli military bombing and the expansion of its ground operations over the last two months has had a “devastating impact” on civilian and critical infrastructure.

People’s access to food in Gaza also became “anxiously unstable and extremely dangerous” during the same period, he added, noting that the UN had recorded the murder of more than 1,000 people seeking help from Israeli forces.

IPC says malnutrition increased rapidly in the first half of July and reached the threshold of hunger in Gaza.

He quotes the Gaza Nutrition cluster – which consists of UN agencies and other humanitarian organizations – as it is said that over 20,000 children have been admitted to clinics for acute malnutrition between April and mid -July, with more than 3,000 malnourished.

It says that hospitals also report a rapid increase in deaths associated with hunger for children under five, with at least 16 reporting the death of July 17.

The IPC signal calls for immediate action to “relieve catastrophic suffering.”

“This includes a scales of the flow of goods, restoring basic services and providing safe, unobstructed access to sufficient life -saving assistance,” the statement said.

“None of this is possible unless there is a ceasefire.”

The World Food and UNICEF program expressed an alarm that two hunger thresholds – food consumption and acute malnutrition – were disturbed in parts of Gaza.

They warned that the collection of stable data on the third threshold – death -related death – in the current circumstances in Gaza was “very difficult, since health systems already downplayed by nearly three years of conflict are collapsing.”

On Monday, Hamas Health Ministry in Gaza said another 14 people had been killed as a result of malnutrition in the previous 24 hours. This brought the number of deaths related to malnutrition, as the war began until 147, including 88 children, according to the ministry.

The World Health Organization also said that there were 63 deaths related to Gaza malnutrition on Sunday this month, including 24 children under five. He noted that the bodies of most of the dead show “clear signs of heavy loss.”

“The unbearable suffering of Gaza people is already clear to see the world. Waiting for the official confirmation of hunger to provide life -saving food assistance they need desperately is undoubtedly,” said WFP CEO, Cindy McCain.

“We need to flood the gas with large-scale nutritional assistance, immediately and without obstacles, and keep it every day to prevent mass hunger. People are already dying of malnutrition and the longer we wait for us to act, the greater the death fee will rise.”

WFP and Unicef said that “Gaza’s population” is hardly coming in because Israel has partially relieved its blockade and that more than 62,000 tonnes of aid are required every month – the equivalent of approximately 3100 truck loads.

At a press conference in Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said that the Gaza situation was “difficult”, but that this was a “lie” that Israel was deliberately starving to the population.

“Who is responsible for this difficult reality? … This is Hamas,” he said. “Whether there is a hunger policy? No, the opposite is right.”

Saar said that 5,000 help trucks have entered Gaza in the last two months and that Israel has been making “incredible efforts, including this week by opening these humanitarian corridors, from Airdrops in any possible way.”

The Israeli military body COGAT, which coordinates the entry of assistance to Gaza, said more than 200 cargo were collected from UN crossings and other international organizations on Monday, and hundreds were waiting for a collection.

However, Gaza residents said they had seen almost no improvement in food, as Israel announced new measures to facilitate the distribution of aid.

“(Monday) they came out with a very small amount of help in our area. Thousands of people fought over it,” a 35-year-old sister at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza told the BBC.

“My children are starving. They haven’t eaten a single meal for two days. We continue to hear about the help, but we never see anything,” he added.

In the southern town of Han Einnis Bilal Atala, a 45-year-old father, five years old, said he had spent all Monday in anticipation of food without success.

“I had no choice but to buy flour from the robberies that had stolen it from trucks for help,” he said. “It cost me $ 35 (26 pounds) per 1 kg (2.2 pounds) flour.”

Other Gaza residents also report that criminal gangs interfere with and degrade convoys for help, and then resell deliveries at inaccessible prices.

The UN Humanitarian Chief Tom Fletcher said most UN trucks, who went into Gaza on Sunday, were plundered, but said it was “desperate individual civilians”.

Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of stealing help. However, the New York Times quoted senior Israeli military officials who said on Sunday that the military had never found evidence that the armed group had systematically stolen the UN help.

The Reuters Agency also announced last week that an internal analysis of the US government has not found evidence of a systematic stealing by Hamas from US -funded assistance.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to an attack led by Hamas against southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were hostage.

Since then, at least 60 034 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the territory.
