As Israel’s policy has created hunger in gas

Hunger goes into gas – a few minutes away from hundreds of trucks sitting with their hands on the borders.

How did we get here?

The built -in classification of the Food Security Phase (IPC), backed by the United Nations, is the leading hunger monitor.

His estimate is that half a million people – a quarter of Palestinians in Gaza – suffers from hunger for many reasons.

The main thing among them is the confirmation of the report that this situation is “completely anthropogenic”, and the assistance organizations today accuse Israel of “systematic obstacle”, which is included in the gas network.

Report IPC says it turned out that people who live in Gaza -ho The area is experiencing the conditions of hunger “starvation, debate and death”.

It is also revealed that starvation is rapidly spreading – in September, the hunger will be in most of the rest of the gas in modern trends.

The report came to its conclusion through three key indicators:

• Fasting: At least 1 of 5 households face a large deficit in food consumption
• Malnutrition: Approximately 1 of 3 children and more acutely underlying
• Mortality: At least 2 in every 10,000 people die daily with -open hunger or combination of malnutrition and illness

When two of these three “thresholds” are found, the IPC admits that there is a hunger.

IPC says the “mortality” indicator is not indicated in the available data from the rupture of monitoring systems. He believes that most non -traumatic death is not recorded.

Based on the evidence that exist, and the expert decision, the IPC concluded that the “mortality” threshold was fulfilled.

The report was published as the Ministry of Health in Gaza, recorded as a result of malnutrition in Gaza, led to 273 deaths, including 112 children.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly denied hunger It happens in Gaza and stated that where there is hunger, it is the fault of the Hamas and Hamas agencies.

Israel has accused international assistance agencies such as the UN, that it does not collect help while waiting at the border of gas, pointing to hundreds of trucks sitting on a single mode.

After weeks of the world seeing images Starving childrenWith scattered stomachs and protruding bones, many will feel that the signs that hunger was inevitable is long overdue.

The ability of the Palestinians to access food was complicated throughout the two -year gas war.

Israel has long imposed restrictions on gas entry, these restrictions increased after the start of the war on October 7, 2023, caused by the death attack led by Hamas on Israel.

However, since March 2025, the situation quickly deteriorated after Israel introduced almost three -month total blockade on the goods that are part of the gas.

Under considerable international pressure, Israel began to allow a limited amount of goods to gas in late May.

It also presented a new food distribution system run by a contradictory American group called Humanitarian Gaza Fund (GHF) to replace the previous food distribution system.

GHF has four food distributions in the militarized zones that Palestinians must go over long risk by replacing 400 distribution points in the UN system.

Food search became a deadly endeavor for the Palestinians, and they regularly told us that they should choose between hunger and death, citing shooting people trying to get help on GHF distribution.

The UN recorded the killing of at least 994 Palestinians in the vicinity of GHF sites, since the end of May, some of the 1760 killed are trying to access help.

The UN said that most of the killed Israeli troops were shot dead, which testified that we were also talking to the Gaza. Israel has repeatedly rejected these allegations.

According to this system, under the control of Israel, fasting into gas has expanded.

As the pressure continued to grow on Israel to allow more food, in late July it began to allow more trucks into gas every day and introduce “tactical pauses” in the fight to allow more help to move through the territory.

In recent weeks, more assistance has entered, and the astronomical prices of some goods in the markets have decreased somewhat – although for many Palestinians who are very expensive. Sometimes the price of flour reached above $ 85 per kilogram, although this figure began to decrease.

UN organizations and assistance say that, despite the fact that Israel is overcoming some of its nutrition restrictions in the gas strip, it still puts significant obstacles and obstacles to be able to collect and disseminate assistance.

Organizations say you need 600 trucks a day, bringing gas goods so that people have satisfied their basic needs – now no more than half of this is allowed.

Israel also began to allow airlines to assist, something criticized as ineffective, dangerous and ultimately distracting humanitarian organizations.

Israel’s accusation is that Hamas is responsible for the hunger crisis. Many reports, including the US government’s internal report, have found that there is no evidence of the systematic sabotage of Hamas assistance.

There is indeed a wide robbery of trucks that are included in the gas – but the help agencies say that most robberies are a crowd of desperate Palestinians and some organized groups that try to profit from resale.

Ultimately, the agencies are repeated for months that in order to prevent hunger and hunger, the gas should be flooded on the road, and now Israel is still imposing restrictions.

A number of Israeli government officials have been denied the IPC report today.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has accused the IPC of publishing “an individual fabricated report to match Hamas’s fake company.”

The Israeli Army Body, called Cogat (Government Coordinator in the Territories), which is responsible for managing the intersection in gas, said the IPC report “False and prejudiced report based on the Hamas terrorist organization”.

Among other criticisms, Israel says the IPC has “changed its world standard” by halving the threshold of those who are hungry from 30% to 15%, as well as “completely ignoring the second death criteria.”

IPC rejected the allegations and stated that it used long -created standards used in similar situations.

Israel’s accusation is that the IPC used “Hamas data” to refer to the fact that some reports on the gas -dop came from the Ministry of Health Hamas.

However, the ministry’s data on death and injuries were widely regarded as reliable throughout the war.

The replies to the UN and International Leaders Replies were strong.

United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Gutteres said that Israel, as occupation power, “has unambiguous commitments under international legislation – including the duty to ensure nutrition and medical means of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue impunity.”

The UN Humanitarian Chief Tom Fletcher said the famine was the direct result of Israel’s “systematic obstacle”.

Meanwhile, British Foreign Minister David Lami said: “The refusal of the Israeli government will allow enough assistance to this man -made disaster. This is moral outrage.”

On Friday, UN Chief Human Rights Wolf Turk said “a war crime is using famine as a war method, and as a result, death may also make a military crime of premeditated murder.”

This week Israel allowed the call of tens of thousands of troops reservisting its contradictory invasion and The profession of the city of gasThe area where the IPC passes is hungry.

Netanyahu says that absorption is the best option to defeat Hamas, end the war and return Israeli hostages from Gaza.

The invasion would forced to forcibly displace a million Palestinians living in the city of Gaza and on the areas around it. Israel has already ordered doctors and agencies to help prepare for the plans for the evacuation of the territory.

A joint statement by a number of UN organizations, including UNICEF, the World Food Program and the World Health Organization, has worried about the planned offensive, saying that “it would be a more devastating consequence for civilians where hunger has already exist.

“A lot of people – especially sick and unsuccessful children, the elderly and people with disabilities – may not be able to evacuate.”
