The Gaza Famine That Wasn’t

Remember months ago when we were hearing that Gaza was on the brink of famine? In case you need a refresher, this is from a March BBC report:

According to the UN, famine is imminent in northern Gaza, and could occur any time up to May 2024. It follows months of conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza after the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel.

Half the population – about 1.1m people – are starving, according to the IPC classification. In the worst-case scenario, the entire population of Gaza will be in famine by July 2024.
