A U.N.-backed global food security body on July 29 stated that a worst-case scenario of famine is unfolding in the Gaza Strip, while humanitarian aid remains largely insufficient, a claim denied by Israeli authorities.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global standard for assessing the severity of food insecurity, reported that famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption in most of the Gaza Strip and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City.
