The United Nations has issued a stark warning, revealing that the entire population of Gaza is now at critical risk of famine, with over half a million people facing the imminent threat of starvation.

The alarming statement, made by a global hunger monitor on Monday, highlights a severe and rapid deterioration in the region’s food security. This marks a sharp decline since the organisation’s last report in October, further underscoring the worsening humanitarian crisis.

The report details that food scarcity has escalated drastically in recent months, leaving countless individuals without adequate access to basic sustenance, while aid efforts continue to struggle under the weight of ongoing conflict.

The situation in Gaza has now reached a point of urgent concern, with international agencies calling for immediate action to address the growing crisis before it escalates further.
