‘Worst-case scenario of famine’ unfolding in Gaza, IPC report finds

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a global hunger monitoring system, has warned that the “worst-case scenario of famine” is now unfolding in Gaza, as Israel continues to severely restrict aid entering the territory.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s war on the Strip, as medical sources say Israeli forces killed at least 62 people across Gaza since dawn on Tuesday, including 19 aid seekers, despite “pauses” in fighting to deliver essential aid.

Small amount of aid allowed into Gaza is purely for optics
This is the third day since Israel announced the opening of the “humanitarian corridor”, and what we’re seeing so far is it is designed largely to be theatrical.

It is not effective at all because we’re not seeing the direct impact on the ground.

It has marginalised more people, more of the hungry population, pushing them aside because the 22 months of constant bombardment created a power vacuum and conditions for looters and armed gang members to take over aid trucks coming from the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Only 50 trucks have been allowed in over the past three days. This is not nearly enough to address the deepening humanitarian crisis. What has been let inside so far has either been looted or destroyed. What has made its way to the market is either expired or incredibly expensive.
