Israel disputes a UN-backed report claiming famine affects 514,000 Gaza residents, citing flawed data and threatening to halt funding to the monitoring body if retraction is not issued.
- Israel demanded that the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative retract its Gaza famine report on Wednesday, with Eden Bar Tal calling it `fabricated` and `deeply flawed`.
- After the UN declared a famine on Friday, it blamed Israel for systematic obstruction of aid during more than 22 months of war and Israel challenged the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification methods.

- Israel threatened IPC donors with funding halts if no new report appears within two weeks, while many European governments and UN agencies defended the IPC's work, calling it the `gold standard`.
- Joyce Msuya told the UN Security Council that famine is confirmed in north-central Gaza and may spread to Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis by September's end, with aid blockades worsening conditions and hospitals reporting new casualties near Gaza City.
