“Classified Conditions”

“When there seems to be no words to describe live hell in Gaza, a new word was added:“ Famine ”, United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres wrote on social media on Friday.

The report, which notes that more than half a million Palestinians in Gaza, are suffering from starvation and “catastrophic conditions”, and represents the first official confirmation of famine in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli war, Hamas nearly two years ago, and the first time IPC declared famine in the Middle East.

According to the report, the place where the most extreme hunger faces the Gaza Governorate, which consists of Gaza City and the surrounding lands. The IPC report is classified as the “Phase 5” famine – the most severe level, which is characterized by “hunger, row and death”.

In addition, according to the report, another million people – a Gaza population – faced emergency levels of malnutrition, and 132,000 children under the age of 5 due to severe malnutrition.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the results, accusing IPC of publishing a “wrapped” report “made” to suit the fake Hamas campaign. The ministry also confirmed that aid was allowed to flow to Gaza and denied the existence of famine, and to continue the direction of Israeli officials who play the severity of hunger in the pocket.

Israel has delivered aid in Gaza throughout the war, including the imposition of a 11 -week blockade on all humanitarian aid flows in March. Although he lifted this siege in May under strong international pressure, Israel continued to impose restrictions, claiming that doing so is necessary to prevent Hamas from kidnapping. The IPC report also found that Israeli efforts to ease restrictions have proven to be “insufficient”.

This report comes at a time when Israel invites more reserve soldiers and continues to prepare to invade Gaza City in an attempt to get rid of Hamas and recover the hostages, despite the high density of the site for Palestinian civilians. On Thursday night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to military plans to control Gaza City and ordered “immediate negotiations” to release the hostages.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz published on Friday in response to Netanyahu’s approval, saying: “Soon, the gates of hell will open to the heads of Hamas killers and their rapists in Gaza – until they agree to Israel’s circumstances to end the war, in the first place, their release from all capabilities.

He added: “If they do not agree, then Gaza, the capital of Hamas, will become a sheet and House Hannon.” “Exactly as I promised – so it should be.” These two cities were flattened by Israeli military operations throughout the war.

The IPC report warns of the inability of the external parties to enter Gaza, current statistics can be less than the conditions of actual conditions and that the situation will continue to exacerbate. Humanitarian organizations and world leaders used this as an opportunity to reaffirm calls for a sustainable ceasefire that would put an end to the war.
