the ​united Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) Commissioner-General declared that the famine in ⁤the Gaza Strip is deliberate ‌and orchestrated by the Israeli government, according to reports ‌by⁣ webangah News Agency, citing Al Jazeera.

Philip‍ Lazzarini, speaking alongside officials ⁤from several international humanitarian organizations, stressed ⁣that the famine stems directly from⁣ Israel’s months-long ⁣blockade preventing food and essential supplies from entering Gaza.

He added that ⁢expanding hunger could be halted through ‍a ceasefire and allowing humanitarian agencies to operate ⁤freely within Gaza.

Lazzarini noted: “The ‍formal declaration of famine in Gaza City is deeply concerning but not surprising.⁤ Months of warnings have ​been ignored, and ⁣famine is​ now an established reality there.”

an internationally recognized “Integrated Food Security Phase Classification” ⁢agency also reported a spread of famine across the Gaza Governorate.

The agency stated more than half a‌ million people in Gaza are⁤ struggling with⁤ hunger, poverty, and death. Severe malnutrition⁢ is expected to worsen rapidly by June 2026.It called for ending the starvation at all⁢ costs and establishing a ceasefire to enable urgent​ large-scale humanitarian efforts aimed at saving lives ⁣as soon as⁤ possible.
