A whole Gaza population with a critical risk of hunger that is supported

The supported assessment stated that the population of Gaza is about 2.1 million Palestinians who are “critical” hunger “and threatens” extreme levels of food security “when the Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid continues.

The latest report of the integrated classification of the food security phase (IPC) states that since October 2024 there has been a “serious deterioration”, but there is no hunger now.

The two -month ceasefire between Israel and Hamas “led to a temporary appeal” to Gaza, according to the report, but the updated hostilities and the Israeli blockade to help – continued since early March – “canceled” any improvements.

Currently, about 244,000 people have been experiencing the most serious or “catastrophic” food security levels, and called for urgent action to prevent “increasingly likely” hunger.

Israel resumed its hostilities in Gaza in mid -March and prevented meals, medicines and other help from 70 days, claiming that he was putting pressure on Hamas to release the rest of the hostages.

There was an international blockade condemnation, including the UN, which stated that my supplies to the gas crossing border crossing, ready for entry when Israel allows. Help agencies have said the blockade could become a war crime and make hunger.

The IPC’s assessment, published on Monday, revealed half a million people – or every fifth – was hungry with the gas. It states that nearly 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely unslaped over the next 11 months by April 2026.

It is added: “A lot of households turn to extreme measures to find food, including begging, and collect garbage for sale to buy something to eat.”

The report states that the current situation, compared to the analysis of October 2024, was “serious deterioration in one of the most severe food and nutrition crises in the world, caused by conflict and characterized by unwavering people.”

His analysis showed that 1.95 million people, or 93% of the gas population, live a high level of acute food security, including 244,000, which feel “catastrophic”.

IPC – a global initiative of UN agencies, assistance groups and governments is the main mechanism that the international community uses to conclude whether hunger is going on.

Israeli officials denied that Gaza had a hunger crisis of the amount of assistance that entered the ceasefire.

This happens when Hamas stated to release the Israeli-American hostage Edon Alexander as part of the effort to reach the ceasefire agreement. The group stated that it was also intended to facilitate the transaction on humanitarian gas entry.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s office said it had not ceased the fire, but only the “safe corridor” for Mr. Alexander.

US President Donald Trump comes to the Middle East on Tuesday, and Israel promised to expand his military offensive against Hamas if the transaction is not reached by the end of his visit.

Israeli officials said The plans of their extended offensive Include the enthusiasm of the entire territory indefinitely, forcibly displacing the Palestinians south, and take over the distribution of assistance with private companies Despite the opposition of the UN and its humanitarian partnerswho say they will not cooperate because it seems to be “weapons”.

The IPC report said the distribution plans were assessed “very insufficient” and expected that significant parts of the population “face significant problems in access to the proposed distribution places.”

On October 7, 2023, the war was caused by attacks under the leadership of Hamas on Southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people, and more than 250 were held hostage. About 59 hostages remain in Gaza, up to 24 of which are allegedly alive.
