Israel calls out UN-backed Gaza famine report as biased, ignores aid flow and on-the-ground data
Share
Category: FAMINE & DISEASE
Summary:
Israeli officials have criticized the latest report from the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), calling it biased and predetermined. The IPC previously declared famine in Gaza in August but now reports that about 1.6 million Gazans face high levels of acute food insecurity. Israeli military officials and COGAT highlighted that the report disregards food volumes delivered to Gaza during the ceasefire, noting that aid trucks carrying food have increased significantly. Some experts have disputed the famine declaration, citing mortality and food price data that do not meet famine thresholds specified by the IPC, which requires specific death rates from starvation or malnutrition for such a classification.
