Gaza has “the highest number of people facing catastrophic hunger ever recorded by the Integrated Food Security Classification system — anywhere, anytime.”
The WFP warned in early December that the "catastrophic hunger crisis" in Gaza which "already threatens to overwhelm the civilian population" will only intensify. [...] The Integrated Food Security and Nutrition Phase Classification (IPC) has confirmed that the entire population of Gaza – about 2.2 million people – is facing high levels of acute food insecurity or worse, with one in four households facing catastrophic conditions. The IPC said it is the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity the initiative has ever classified for any given area or country.
