The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has issued a Food Insecurity and Malnutrition Alert for the Gaza Strip, highlighting the worst-case scenario of famine and the severe impact of ongoing conflict, mass displacement, and restricted humanitarian access. The IPC warns that famine thresholds are now in place, with widespread starvation and malnutrition driving an increase in hunger-related deaths. The classification’s analytical approach and multi-partner initiative aim to assess food insecurity and acute malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, based on internationally recognized standards. By providing evidence-based analysis, the IPC supports governments, UN agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders in making informed decisions to address food security and nutrition, with the goal of informing emergency responses and long-term policy planning.
