The Gaza Strip is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with a food security situation described as a "catastrophe" by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report. The report indicates that 22% of the population, approximately 520,000 people, are currently experiencing food insecurity, while the entire population of 2.4 million could face a food crisis by September.

    1. This really has become an unprecedented crisis when it comes to hunger and acute levels of food insecurity.
    2. We are as close as we have been to the brink of famine since the beginning of hostilities in October of 2023.
    1. The food families need is sitting at the border, while people inside Gaza are starving.
    2. If we wait until a famine is confirmed, it will already be too late for many people.
    1. The main reason for the malnutrition in these cases is the lack of available animal proteins and healthy foods.
