HALA YAZIŞMA VE KONUŞMA ....ACTION İS NEEDED..
⚠️ According to the latest food security report, the Gaza Strip is seeing the highest number of people ever recorded as facing catastrophic hunger. For families in the north, is imminent. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🆘 WFP's Chief Cindy McCain says: "There is a very small window left to prevent an outright famine and to do that we need immediate and full access to the north."
"If we wait until famine has been declared, it’s too late. Thousands more will be dead."
📄 What does the report say?
🔺In Gaza’s two northern governorates, where around 300,000 people remain trapped, famine is expected to arrive between now and May.
🔺Overall, the new report shows everyone in Gaza is facing crisis levels of hunger or worse.
🔺1.1 million people – half of the population – have completely exhausted their food supplies and are experiencing catastrophic hunger and starvation - the most extreme food security classification. This is the highest number ever recored by the IPC system and double the number just three months ago.
🛑 What's needed to avert famine?
The report says that famine can be halted if full access is facilitated for aid organizations to provide food, water, nutrition products, medicines, health and sanitation services, at scale, to everyone in need.
For this to be possible, a humanitarian ceasefire is necessary.
Unless fighting stops and aid agencies have full access throughout Gaza, and especially to the north, then hundreds – if not thousands -- more children will die of hunger.
📌 What is the IPC report?
The Integrated Food Security Classification report is a multi-stakeholder platform that analyses data from WFP, other UN agencies, and non-governmental organizations to determine the severity and magnitude of hunger crises according to internationally-recognized scientific standards.
