Worst-case scenario of famine is now unfolding in Gaza, UN-backed monitor announces

On July 25, 2025, the UN-supported Integrated Food Security Phase Classification issued a severe warning that Gaza is facing conditions indicative of an extreme famine amid increasing conflict and critical food shortages.
This follows nearly two years of war since October 7, 2023, including Israeli blockades and military campaigns that have drastically reduced humanitarian access and local food production.
Acute malnutrition in Gaza City increased sharply from 4.4% in May to 16.5% by early July, with nearly 40% of expectant and nursing mothers experiencing severe nutritional deficiencies, while hospitals reported a rise in child deaths linked to hunger.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu denied starvation, saying enough aid was supplied, while US President Trump contradicted him Monday, stating, "Those children look very hungry" based on recent images from Gaza.
The IPC warned immediate, unconditional ceasefire and scaling up aid flow are essential to prevent widespread death and alleviate catastrophic suffering in Gaza's population of over two million.
