The world’s leading authority on food crises says the spread of famine’s been averted in Gaza yet the situation remains critical with the entire strip facing starvation. The new report was issued Friday by The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification. The report comes months after the IPC said famine was occurring in Gaza City and was likely to spread across the territory. The report says there were notable improvements in food security and nutrition following an October ceasefire and no famine has been detected. The report warns the situation remains fragile. The IPC says all of Gaza will be classified an emergency with nearly 2,000 people facing catastrophic levels of hunger through April.
