Two-thirds of Gaza may face acute hunger by year-end despite improvements, global food monitor says
The IPC said more than 200,000 residents still face emergency conditions as aid access improves and food consumption remains inadequate for most people.
- The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reported Thursday that food security in Gaza has improved since last year due to reduced fighting and increased humanitarian aid, though the territory remains at crisis levels.
- Thursday's report classified all five governorates in Gaza as being in Phase 3 "crisis" conditions, while estimating that more than 200,000 residents were experiencing Phase 4 "emergency" conditions.
- Roughly 1.4 million people face acute food insecurity through the year's end, while nearly 75,000 children under five will require treatment for acute malnutrition by April 2027.
- COGAT, the Israeli military body overseeing humanitarian affairs, "strongly rejects the claims and conclusions" in the report, citing lack of objectivity regarding aid data.
- The IPC warned gains are "fragile and partial," emphasizing that stunting from inadequate nutrition will have lasting consequences for Palestinian children's growth and cognitive development.
