US EditionGaza No Longer Officially Facing Famine—But 1.6 Million Palestinians Still in 'Man-Made Hunger Crisis'
About 1.6 million people in Gaza face crisis-level hunger with over 500,000 in emergency and 100,000 in catastrophe conditions amid fragile ceasefire gains, UN reports.
- Following the 10 October ceasefire, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reported no areas of the Gaza Strip currently classified as famine, with far more people able to access enough food to survive.
- Damage to services has left health, water, sanitation, housing, and livelihoods badly damaged, leaving families vulnerable during winter, while António Guterres, UN Secretary‑General, urged a `truly durable` ceasefire with more crossings and fewer restrictions.
- Between mid‑October and the end of November, roughly 1.6 million people faced crisis‑level hunger, nearly 101,000 children aged six to 59 months will suffer acute malnutrition, and 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women need treatment.
- Despite increased aid, humanitarian teams are preparing over 1.5 million hot meals daily, yet nearly the entire Gaza Strip remains in emergency .
- Looking ahead to mid‑April 2026, the IPC projects around 571,000 people in emergency and approximately 1,900 in catastrophe, warning famine could return if hostilities renew or inflows halt.
