It is the first in the Middle East. The UN officially announced the famine in the Governor of Gaza Strip on Friday, August 22, where 5 people were “Disaster, poverty and death are confronted by catastrophic conditions.”According to his experts, at a time when Israel threatened to destroy the largest city in the Palestinian region.
Humanities and food security experts have been warning for months that Gaza is at the doorstep of famine, but this is the first official confirmation. After a few months of alert, the consolidated structure of food security classification (IPC), an independent agency developed by the UN and NGOs in Rome, has confirmed that a famine is underway in the Governorate of Gaza, located in the north center of Chitmahal. It consists of Gaza City and other areas around it.
According to the IPC, in mid-August and at the end of September, the situation should still be worse, and the famine extends to Deir L-Balah and Khan Unis. The IPC said the conditions of the city of Gaza are also serious, worse than the governor of the Gaza Strip, but the lack of information prevents the region’s classification as a state of famine. In the case of Rafah province, after removing it, it is not enough to produce an analysis.
The Gaza Governorate represents about 20 % of the region of the Palestinian region. If we associate with Khan Yones (23.5 %) and Dir L-Bala (5 %%), we are about two-thirds of the total field of the Gaza Strip, or 365 km² poor zone.2 Where 2.5 million Palestinians live.

• What is the condition of famine?
For the IPC, a famine is declared when three criteria are met
– At least 20 % of families face food shortages.
– At least 30 % of children under the age of five suffer from severe malnutrition;
– At least two people in 10,000 die of hunger every day.
Acute malnutrition results in the presence of thin and/or inflammation. In most cases of serious malnutrition in children, the combination of nutrients and lack of infection results in diarrhea and other symptoms that cause dehydration, which can cause death.
The consortium said that at least 12.5 children under the age of five are likely to die in severe malnutrition in Gaza. This image has doubled since May and has more than 41,000 serious cases.
The risk analysis of the famine led by the IP involves about fifteen UN agencies, international agencies, and association experts. These experts are based on field data and responses and follow a classification scale for five levels of food crisis.
The second step is called “Food Tension, La Phase 3, “Food Crisis ” (Phase 4, “Food is Urgent”. For the 5 steps, the IPC talks about both «Disaster» (On a family scale) and «Famine» (On a scale of a region).
This general global scale forms the main process used to analyze data by the international community and to determine whether the work of famine is underway in a country.
What is IPC IPC?
The IPC was created during the famine in Somalia in 2004. This is an independent reference technical equipment.
The company does not announce the famine itself, but also provides analysis, which allows the government and the international organization to publish an official declaration to the United Nations.
The IPC just mentioned the famine several times: Somalia in 20, 20 2017 South Sudan in 2021, and in several areas of West Darfur in Sudan last year. It is assumed that thousands of people died in Somalia and South Sudan. Can we still do the opposite of the situation?
The IPC says that if the famine declares it is almost too late, however “This famine is fully caused by humans, it may stop and reverses”The “A competition against the famine watch, The organization wrote. The end of an instant ceasefire and conflict is necessary to allow a large-scale and uninterrupted humanitarian intervention to save lives. »»
