The multilateral organization cited a report presented by a group of experts, according to which 100,000 people were living in catastrophic conditions last month in the territory, which is under Israeli aggression.

Furthermore, in August, the Integrated Food Security Classification (IPC) revealed that half a million people, approximately a quarter of Gaza’s population, were in areas affected by famine.

“In the worst-case scenario, which would include a renewal of hostilities and the suspension of humanitarian and commercial entry, the entire Gaza Strip is at risk of experiencing famine until mid-April 2026.

This underscores the serious and ongoing humanitarian crisis,” the document states.

The IPC measures two parameters: food insecurity and malnutrition, with stage 5 representing the most extreme level.

Between October and November, approximately 1.6 million Gazans (77 percent) faced high levels of acute food insecurity, including more than half a million in Emergency (Phase 4) and 104,000 in Catastrophe (Phase 5).

According to the report, the main contributing factors are restrictions on humanitarian access, the displacement of more than 730,000 people, and the destruction of livelihoods, including more than 96 percent of arable land.
