The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a UN-supported entity tasked with assessing global hunger, has officially declared a famine in Gaza City for the first time.

According to the IPC briefing, the situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with more than half a million residents facing dire conditions marked by food deprivation and mortality.

The famine is expected to spread to other areas by the end of September, affecting approximately 1.07 million people, who are currently in a state of “emergency” food insecurity.
