‘While famine is confirmed in Gaza City, we have warehouses full of food waiting to be allowed in,’ UN agency for Palestinian refugees says

For nearly two years, Israeli and American officials have largely ignored pleas to end policies that limit food aid and other humanitarian supplies for millions of Palestinians.

A U.N.-backed food security group has issued a dire warning: famine has officially now taken hold in northern Gaza and is expected to spread in the coming months.

A UN-backed report has confirmed that there is widespread famine in Gaza, the first time a famine has been declared in the Middle East. Israel immediately rejected the findings.

United Nations declares famine in Gaza due to Israeli obstruction, with 500,000 facing catastrophic hunger.

The Israeli foreign ministry rejected the UN’s famine declaration, calling the report ‘based on Hamas lies’.

Israel has systematically obstructed food entering Gaza, aid agencies say, as a UN-backed body confirms a famine.
