The United Nations issues new warnings about famine in Gaza. Half of Gaza’s population - about 1.1 million Palestinians - suffer from “catastrophic food insecurity” as a result of the war.
This is the largest number recorded by the classification, which defines famine as “a population facing widespread malnutrition and hunger-related deaths due to lack of access to food” The report said that “famine is imminent in the northern regions and is expected to occur at any time between mid-March and May 2024” unless something is done to prevent it.
