FCDO statement: UN Integrated Food Security Phase Classification snapshot for Gaza
This UN Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report shows that Gaza continues to face crisis levels of food insecurity, which are only projected to deteriorate.
It is completely unacceptable that 1.2 million people are facing significant food shortages, with 90% of the population confined to under 30% of the Gaza Strip. Averting famine cannot be the benchmark for success.
Israeli restrictions on aid and repeated displacement are driving disease, water scarcity and decimating health services. Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool. The UK will continue to support humanitarian organisations working on the ground and press Israel to enable aid and commercial goods to enter Gaza at the scale needed.
