US EditionSpread of Gaza famine has been averted yet strip still faces starvation: Report
Despite no famine classification, over 100,000 Gaza residents face catastrophic hunger and acute malnutrition, with conditions expected to improve by April, IPC reports.
- On Friday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reported the spread of famine in the Gaza Strip was averted, yet the entire strip still faces starvation.
- Following the ceasefire, reduced fighting and better deliveries helped reverse shortages as people now receive two meals daily instead of one in July, Antoine Renard said Thursday.

- Israeli authorities and international coordinators offer conflicting delivery assessments as COGAT and the Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected IPC findings, while American officials say aid meets the 600 trucks daily stipulation.
