On July 9, 2024, eleven UN experts declared that Israel's campaign of targeted starvation against Palestinians constitutes genocidal violence, resulting in famine throughout Gaza. They urged the international community to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and end Israel's siege and military actions. The experts emphasized the severe impacts on children who are dying from starvation amid medical efforts. Although famine lacks a universal legal definition, the IPC methodology used by key organizations classifies food insecurity levels aimed at preventing deaths and mobilizing responses effectively.
Israel's intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza.
The death of children from starvation despite attempts to provide them with medical treatment in central Gaza left no room for equivocation.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a five-stage quantitative humanitarian scale to map the food insecurity of a population.
The aim of the IPC evaluation instrument is to spur collective action when food insecurity is identified and prevent such situations from reaching Level 5 on the IPC scale.
