Famine Review Committee Alert❗
The Famine Review Committee (FRC) has determined that #Famine is currently occurring in Gaza Governorate. Furthermore, the FRC projects Famine thresholds to be crossed in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis Governorates in the coming weeks.
As this Famine is entirely man-made, it can be halted and reversed. The time for debate and hesitation has passed, starvation is present and is rapidly spreading. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that an immediate, at-scale response is needed. Any further delay—even by days—will result in a totally unacceptable escalation of Famine-related mortality.

@TheIPCinfo #FoodInsecurity #Malnutrition
More than half a million people in #Gaza are trapped in famine, according to a new IPC analysis.
Famine is confirmed when three critical thresholds – extreme food deprivation, acute malnutrition and starvation-related deaths – have been breached.
An immediate ceasefire is the safest way to ensure a large-scale humanitarian response that can save lives.

Every confident person still feels insecure.
Every successful person still fails.
Every happy person still struggles.

Yemen is spiraling deeper into crisis. With aid programs closing, millions face hunger alone.
