Gaza’s largest city is officially suffering from a manmade famine that has already affected more than half a million Palestinians and is likely to spread, the world’s leading authority on food crises declared on Friday.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system said 514,000 people – close to a quarter of all Palestinians in Gaza – are experiencing famine, with the number due to rise to 641,000 by the end of next month.
