Gaza Loses Food Security
The data show that hunger in Gaza is linked not only to food shortages, but also to the destruction of local production and families’ loss of purchasing power. Unemployment reached around 78% in 2025, while prices remained roughly 200% above pre-war levels. After acute food insecurity affected 100% of the population assessed by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) in Gaza, Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis during July and mid-August 2025, the share fell to 59% in the April–June 2026 assessment, with a projected rise to 67% in the second half of the year. But the recovery remained fragile: only 448 hectares of cultivated land remained intact and accessible—around 3% of the total—and the reach of food parcel distributions fell from 2.13 million people in November 2025 to 1.49 million in May 2026. The report concluded that improved food availability alone is not enough without regular, adequate assistance and the restoration of livelihoods, income and access to land.
