On Friday (August 22, 2025) amidst the Israeli-Pilistine dispute, the United Nations officially announced a famine in Gaza, the first famine in the Middle East. According to the expert, 5,00,000 people are facing terrible starvation in this famine.
United Nations Assistance Head Tom Fletcher said that food was not able to reach these areas of Palestine due to Israeli barriers, otherwise this famine could be stopped. At the same time, Israeli’s Foreign Ministry gave its response, reversing this statement of UN.
IPC report based on Hamas’s lie
Criticizing the report of the IPC panel in Rome, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said that this report is based on the lies of Hamas spread through selfish organizations. He said that there is no famine in Gaza.
The IPC panel of Rome said on Friday that the famine has been confirmed in the province and city of Gaza, which is about 20 percent of the Gaza Strip by 15 August 2025. He said that by the end of September, the impact of the famine is expected to be increased to the Der al-Balah and Khan Unis provinces, which will engulf about two-thirds of Palestine.
More than 5 lakh people victims of starvation in Gaza Strip
The IPC panel report said that after 22 months of fierce war, more than 5 lakh people in Gaza Strip are facing terrible conditions like starvation and death and now by the end of September, this number is expected to increase to 641,000, which is about one third of the total population.
Citing this report, the IPC said that this has been due to large -scale displacement and ban in Gaza due to the war between terrible starvation, Israel and Hamas. In the beginning of March after the war began between the two countries, Israeli banned the support supply in Gaza, causing a huge shortage of food, medicine and goods there.
Agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries destroyed in Gaza
The IPC said that the estimated 98 percent of the agricultural land in Gaza Strip has either been destroyed, has become inaccessible or both have become. Livestock is destroyed and fishing has been banned. Apart from this, the health system has also deteriorated badly, while there has been a huge decrease in access to safe drinking water and adequate hygiene.
