Over 570,000 people living in the Gaza Strip are experiencing hunger as an aftermath of the violence Israel has been rolling out in the enclave since it responded to Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7.

The report from the United Nations and other aid agencies published by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) indicated how the onslaught and refusal to enter into a ceasefire have been causing “catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity.” According to the study conducted between Nov. 24 and Dec. 7, on IPC’s five-phase scale for malnutrition, the entire population of Gaza is on Phase 3, with over 90 percent estimated to face high levels of acute food insecurity.
