TEL AVIV, Israel — Famine is "imminent" in northern Gaza, where around 300,000 people still remain, and is at risk of happening any time between now and May, according to a new report by experts who are the world's leading authority on hunger.
The report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, concluded that the entire population in the Gaza Strip, more than 2 million people, are already facing high levels of acute food insecurity. The report, released Monday, warns that famine conditions in northern Gaza may only be days or weeks away, while in central and southern Gaza, famine could occur by July.
