Experts warn 'famine is imminent' in Northern Gaza

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) issued a report Friday stating Northern Gaza's citizens are threatened by an “imminent and substantial likelihood of extreme famine."

The organization defines famine as a situation where at least 20 percent of households in a given area have an extreme lack of food. An extreme famine is likely to occur between November of 2024 and April of 2025, predicted the IPC, noting that food access is "at critical levels and rapidly deteriorating."
