There is a “strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas” of the northern Gaza Strip, a committee of global food security experts warned on Friday, as Israel claims to be pursuing a military offensive against Palestinian militant group Hamas in the area.
“Immediate action, within days not weeks, is required from all actors who are directly taking part in the conflict, or have influence on its conduct, to avert and alleviate this catastrophic situation,” the independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) said in a rare alert.
The warning comes just days ahead of a US deadline for Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which the UN said almost a year ago had been made “uninhabitable” by Israeli attacks, or face potential restrictions on US military aid.
I am actually surprised how people are still able to survive there at this point
I don’t think they actually are. They destroyed all the infrastructure and media there. There are probably huge numbers of deaths that we haven’t heard about.
How many of the 5.5 million Palestinians do we think are left? How many will there be in another year or two?
Removed by mod
That is factually untrue.
Brig Gen Itzik Cohen declared last week that the hundreds of thousands of people remaining in northern Gaza have been reclassified as combatants and no further food will reach them.
They are going to be eliminated, and the land annexed and resettled.

They’re not allowing aid in and are very proud of it.
And they are indiscriminately bombing Palestine and Lebanon right now killing thousands of civilians.
Do not mind that guy. It’s just a raging islamophobe that will defend anyone that oppresses Muslims. The name is just reminder for themselves in case they get carried away.
Who are you trying to fool?
Lemme de-bullshit that headline for ya:
“Strong likelihood” of Israel causing imminent famine in northern Gaza, food experts warn
Israel are refusing to allow residents to return to the north and deeming anyone who still lives there a militant - on top of blocking aid. Famine is all but certain.
Aye. Famine is a failure in policy. Enough people in power have decided that these people should suffer and die.
If it’s intended it’s not a failure
It is a failure of the international community. It is a success for the genocidal regime of Israel.
The international community is on board with the genocidal government of Israel. So success I guess.
