Majority of Gaza faces severe food shortages
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports that approximately 67% of the Gaza Strip population, or about 1.4 million people, are currently suffering from severe food insecurity, despite a slight improvement in the situation. The situation remains critical, especially for vulnerable groups, children, and the elderly, with around 212,000 people still classified as being in an emergency state according to UN criteria. It is expected that treatment for malnutrition will continue for about 74,000 children over the next year, and approximately 25,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women will require food support. Access to humanitarian assistance remains difficult in areas near the border controlled by Israel. The situation is classified as phase four of food insecurity phases and threatens the occurrence of catastrophic famines.
