Palestinians loot a humanitarian aid truck as it crossed into the Gaza Strip in Rafah, on December 17, 2023
GAZA is at “high risk” of famine after Israel’s offensive in Rafah caused displacement and the disruption of aid operations in the south, despite an increase in aid in the north.
The report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), an initiative that includes more than a dozen United Nations agencies, aid groups, governments and other bodies, said that nearly all of the 2.2 million population in Gaza is struggling to get enough food.
Nearly half a million are expected to experience the highest level of starvation in the coming months, it said.
