UNs in 2004 Food and Agriculture Organization Integrated food safety stage classification (IPC), Monitoring Tool for Global Hunger. It has become the primary way to identify famine as phase 1 (no minimum food insecurity) (no minimum food insecurity) (disaster or famine).

CT Defines a famine “As a excessive deprivation of foods where hunger, death, poverty and extremely critical acute malnutrition levels are evident or will be.

In order to meet the criteria, a region’s lack of excessive food will have at least 30% of children suffering from acute malnutrition and at least 20% of the households to be faced with “open hunger or malnutrition and interaction of illness and disease for every 10,000 people per day.

If a number of households are experiencing famine, but not at the required level (20% of the population) or local malnutrition or mortality levels have not reached the necessary thresholds for famine, these households will be placed in the IPC FAZ-5 catastrophy category, but as a whole, the field is not in 5 famine.

On Monday, Donald Trump told Israel to leave Gaza to leave “every ounce of food ına to Gaza because it first admitted that it was“ real hunger ”in the region.

During his visit to the UK, the US President contradicted Benjamin Netanyahu after claiming that Israeli Prime Minister Israel was a “brave -faced lie” to say that Israel was a hunger in Gaza.

Trump, under increasing pressure to intervene in the human crisis, in a crisis attributed by the UN and other humanitarian organizations in recent weeks, referring to Israel’s blockade to the region.

In a statement to the US President, he said that Israel had “too much responsibility ında in a scolding crisis against Netanyahu, who claimed that there is no hunger in Gaza on Monday on Monday.

When asked if he accepted this assessment, Trump said, “I don’t know. Based on television, I cannot say especially, because these children seem hungry.” He said.

Then he added: iz We can save many people, so some of these children. This is real hunger; I see and you cannot imitate it. So we will be more involved. ”

Netanyahu asked what to ask for what they were talking about next time, Trump said: “We give money and we give food, but we are here… I want to be sure that they buy food. I want to make sure they buy food and food.”

Famaging in Gaza “now emerges”, thousands of children’s malnutrition and hunger deaths on the rise among the youngest ones, a warning.

Integrated Food Safety Stage Classification Initiative (IPC) said that the air signs on Gaza will not prevent the “human disaster çıkan in the region.

Used as a monitor to measure malnutrition, the worst scenario of famine is now emerging in the Gaza Strip, ”he said.

Human access to Gaza was the only way to stop the rapidly rising “hunger and death olan rapidly.

The warning from IPC, which is not an official definition of famine in Gaza, said:

Assembly evidence shows that widespread hunger, malnutrition and disease lead to an increase in death -related deaths…

The latest data show that in most Gaza Strip, famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption and acute malnutrition in Gaza.

We continue to grow in international pressure on Israel to allow the region’s live scope of the Gaza War to allow more help to the region, and continue to grow among widespread hunger and malnutrition reports.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) condemned the use of air signs to provide desperate help to Gaza and described the approach as “futile” and “cynical”.

Jean Guy VatauxThe Emergency Coordinator of the MSF in Gaza asked Israel to allow full access to humanitarian aid, which he said was ready to be delivered through the road along the border.

He warned that AirDrops could not carry much help and that they could not injure people when they fell (they could even kill) because they were “fame ineffective and dangerous”.

In a shipment in xVataux wrote:

Using airdrops to present humanitarian aid is a futile initiative of cynic hats.

The roads are there, the trucks are there, food and medicine there, everything is ready to bring humanitarian aid just a few kilometers away from Gaza.

The only thing that is needed is that Israeli officials decide to facilitate their arrival – coordination to accelerate permission procedures, allow the scaling of goods, and allow safe collection and delivery. But then we can start to solve the hunger we see…

Currently, two million people are trapped in a small piece of land, which constitutes only 12 percent of the whole strip – if something descends to this area, people will inevitably be injured.

On the other hand, if the weather descends to the areas where Israel is displaced, people will have to enter militarized areas – once again they will risk their lives for food.

Israel said yesterday that more than 200 aid trucks were collected and distributed by the aid agencies and 260 trucks entered Gaza and waiting for the collection.

In addition to the air signs carried out by Jordan, UAE and Israel, who parachute the aid packages to the region for the first time during the weekend. No institutions say that this aid is completely inadequate for the needs of the Gaza population.
