Experts Warn Widespread Death Will Occur In Gaza From Famine

1 day ago Gaza's population is facing the “worst-case scenario of famine" and “widespread death” will occur without immediate action, the leading international authority on food crises has warned. Tuesday's alert by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification — which is still short of a formal famine declaration — follows an outcry over images of emaciated children in Gaza after nearly 22 months of war. The IPC said Gaza has teetered on the brink of famine for two years, but recent developments, including “increasingly stringent blockades” by Israel, have “dramatically worsened” the situation.
