“The worst scenario of the cases that reveal” in Gaza, the tape

The leading international authority in the food crises said in A. New alert on TuesdayThe “extensive death” prediction without immediate procedure.

This alert, which is still less than the announcement of the official starvation, follows a cry of pictures of comic children in Gaza and reports of dozens of hunger -related deaths after nearly 22 months of war.

the International pressure During the weekend, Israel led to the announcement of measures, including the daily humanitarian stops in the fighting in parts of Gaza and air. The United Nations and the Palestinians on Earth say little has changed, and the desperate crowds still overwhelm the trucks and unload them before they can reach their destinations.

The classification of integrated food security, or IPC, said Gaza has stumbled on the brink of starvation for two years, but the recent developments were “greatly worsened”, including “increasingly strict siege” by Israel.

“The escalating evidence indicates that hunger on a large scale, malnutrition and disease are leading to a rise in hunger -related deaths. The latest data indicates that famine thresholds have been accessed for food consumption in most of the Gaza Strip and the acute bonds in Gaza City.” “Immediate measures must be taken to end hostilities and allow the unimaginable, widespread and life -saving response. This is the only way to stop more catastrophic deaths and human suffering.”

The announcement of the official starvation, which is rare, requires the type of data in which the lack of access to Gaza and the movement within it to a large extent. IPC announced famine only several times – in Somalia in 2011, South Sudan in 2017 and 2020, and parts of the West Darfur region of Sudan last year.

The “deadly transformation point” has arrived

But independent experts say they do not need an official announcement to find out what they see in Gaza.

“Just as a family doctor can often diagnose a patient known based on the visible symptoms without the need to send samples to the laboratory and wait for the results, so we can also explain the symptoms of Gaza. This is famine.”

The area is classified as in famine when all the following three conditions are confirmed:

At least 20 % of families have a severe food shortage, or mainly starved. At least 30 % of children from six months to 5 years suffer from acute malnutrition or wasting, which means that they are very thin for their height. At least two or four children die less than 5,000 per 10,000 per day due to hunger or the interaction of malnutrition and disease.

The report relies on the available information until July 25, and says that the crisis has reached a “anxious and deadly turning point.” It says that the data indicates that the dysfunction of famine for food consumption has been reached in most Gaza – at its lowest levels since the war began – and with severe nutrition in Gaza City. The report says what is

The escalating evidence shows “wide hunger”, that IPC says. Other health and services have collapsed. One in three people in Gaza is going without food for several days at a time, according to the World Food Program. Hospitals have reported a rapid increase in hunger -related deaths in children under the age of 5 years. The population of Gaza, which is more than 2 million, has been pressured to increasing small areas of destroyed lands.

The last IPC analysis in May warned that Gaza is likely to fall into famine if Israel does not lift the siege and stop its military campaign. Its new alert calls for a wide and large -scale action and warns: “Failure to act now will lead to a large -scale death in a large part of the tape.”

Israel restricts aid to varying degrees throughout the war. In March, entry of all goods, including fuel, food and medicine, was cut off to press enthusiasm to liberate the hostages.

Israel diluted these restrictions in May, but also pushed forward with a new system to hand over the US -backed aid, which was exposed to chaos and violence. Auxiliary providers say uncompromise Delivery operations have been disabled By Israeli military restrictions and looting incidents, while criminals and hungry crowds leaked convoys.

While Israel says there is no limit to the number of aid trucks that can enter Gaza, and UN agencies and relief groups say until the last humanitarian measures It is not enough to confront the aggravating hunger. In a statement on Monday, doctors without borders described the new Redrops inaccurate and dangerous, saying they are providing less help than trucks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no one is starving in Gaza and that Israel has provided sufficient assistance throughout the war, “otherwise there will be no invaders.” On Monday, the Israel Army criticized “false allegations of deliberate hunger in Gaza.”

It seems that the closest ally of Israel does not agree. “These children are very hungry,” President Donald Trump said on Monday about Gaza’s photos in recent days.
