One in Five Gaza Households Go Days Without Food, UN Report Finds

A draft UN report reveals that one in five households in Gaza are going entire days without food. The report also highlights that over half of households in Gaza have resorted to selling or exchanging their clothes in order to purchase food. This comes amidst ongoing pressure on Israel to improve aid deliveries to the region. The latest findings from the UN's hunger monitoring system, the (IPC), paint a grim picture of the situation in Gaza. More than 495,000 people, representing one-fifth of the population, are now experiencing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity. This includes extreme lack of food, starvation, and exhaustion. The report underscores the urgent need for increased assistance and support for the people of Gaza, as the risk of famine looms large over the territory.
