UN alert: Gaza at the border of hunger worse than any crisis of this century

WFP emergency director Ross Smith told reporters that:

This is different than anything we've seen in this century. It reminds us of past disasters in Ethiopia or Biafra in the past century,” has said, demanding that emergency action be carried out.

We remember that earlier, even the UN-backed body, “Integrated Food Security Phase Classication” (IPC), has issued an alarm saying that the worst hunger target is currently taking place in the Gaza Strip”.

A recent assessment supported by the United Nations states:

Increased tests indicate that widespread hunger, malnutrition and disease are leading to an increase in deaths related to food shortages. The latest data shows that famine thresholds have been achieved for food consumption in most Gaza Strip and acute malnutrition in the city of Gaza. ”
