Palestinians face catastrophic hunger and imminent famine in northern Gaza, as warned by food security authorities in March 2024. This situation arose during a prolonged siege by Israel. The Biden administration ignored UN and humanitarian warnings since December 2023 and was complicit in the crisis along with the previous Trump administration. Israeli officials publicly declared their intent to starve Gaza after the October 2023 Hamas attack. The UN warned by December 2023 that over 1 million people in Gaza would face starvation without intervention.
In March 2024, the global authority on food security warned that Palestinians were experiencing catastrophic levels of hunger, and famine was imminent in northern Gaza as Israel continued its siege of the territory.
Top Israeli officials made no secret of their intention to starve Gaza's population of 2.2 million, within days of the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
Biden's record is not only shocking for the multiple missed opportunities he had to change course, but for his callousness toward the suffering of Palestinians.
By December 2023, the UN's hunger monitoring group warned in a report that more than 1 million people in Gaza were facing widespread starvation within several months unless Israel eased its restrictions.
