According to the Integrated Food Safety Phase Classification (IPC) platform, in most parts of Gaza, two of the three quality of the famine have been seen, which is very rapidly reduced in foods, ie very low cost of food and very serious malnutrition.
The rapid growing malnutrition in Gaza City ensures repeated warnings by relief agencies.
According to the IPC report, there is constant evidence that the death toll due to hunger, malnutrition and disease is increasing.
Emergency director of the World Food Program (WFP) Ross Smith said in Geneva, “This is a clear tragedy that is clearly visible in front of our eyes and in front of the TV screen. It is not a warning – it is the call of action. We have never seen it in this century.”
For several days, without meal
The mention of the warning is extremely serious: According to the IPC, one out of every three is now living for several days.
There are heavy pressure at the hospital and more than 20,000 children have been treated for severe malnutrition since April.
At least 16 children under the age of five from mid -July died due to hunger.
The warning came after the May IPC report of 2021, which was estimated that the whole population of Gaza could reach the level of intimidating food insecurity by September.
According to experts, at least five million people can reach the IPC stage 5 (disaster), which means starvation, helplessness and death.
The crisis has come from the war that has been going on for nearly two years, which began in October 2021 by the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, where about 1,220 people were killed and about 5 hostages were held.
In the following deadly war, more than 3,000 people have died so far, according to the Gaza health agency, and the percent of Gaza infrastructure has been destroyed by 5 percent.
IPC evaluation relief agencies have confirmed the concerns, re -mention that people are displaced in a very large scale and now only 12 percent of the entire region is secure.
Start the ceasefire right now
Gaza population is about 21 lakh and more than 90% of them have been displaced, many of whom have been homeless many times.
More than 7,000 people have been displaced since the end of the ceasefire on March 7.
Human aid is still very difficult – trucks filled with relief materials are often closed or looted. Israel announced Sunday that it would allow relief for some time in Gaza every day.
It is reported that more than 5 trucks have entered Gaza on Sunday, but the UN has said that Gaza still has to send a lot of food, fuel and medicines.
The IPC platform has also claimed in the appeal of the world to stop war, immediate and unconditional ceasefire, full independence to assist and to stop the war to recover the necessary services.
The report warns that a large number of people may die if assistance does not reach faster.
Food security experts have applied to ensure important infrastructure protection such as citizens, human workers and health, water, hygiene, roadways and communication.
