据报道，在以色列和哈马斯持续不断的战争中，以及以色列连续第三个月切断对加沙地带的援助后，加沙的所有居民都面临着严重的饥饿问题报告周一出版。
根据联合国粮食及农业组织的一份新报告，从现在到9月底，加沙的210万居民将面临“危机”级别的粮食不安全，甚至更糟综合粮食安全阶段分类伙伴关系，其成员包括世界卫生组织。
根据IPC的分类系统,“危机”是五级中第三高的粮食不安全级别。根据世界卫生组织的报告，这是指家庭要么正在努力获得食物，并出现营养不良的情况，要么“只能通过耗尽基本的生计资产来勉强满足最低的食物需求”工业程序控制( industrial process control的缩写).
在全部人口中，四分之三的加沙人口已经被归类为“紧急”或“灾难”级别，根据IPC，这是粮食不安全的两个最严重的阶段。
该报告预计，到9月底，大约470，000加沙人，相当于大约22%的人口，将被归类为生活在“灾难”下，这相当于饥饿的饥荒水平。
在2024年10月发布的上一份IPC报告中，12%的人口被预测为生活在“灾难”之下。
国际残奥委会说饥荒是分类的当一个地区有20%的家庭面临极度缺乏食物，30%的儿童患有急性营养不良，每天每10，000人中有2人死于饥饿或营养不良和疾病的结合。
在一份新闻稿中，世卫组织表示，加沙的局势是“世界上最严重的饥饿危机之一，正在实时展开。”
世卫组织总干事特德罗斯·阿达诺姆·盖布雷耶苏斯博士在一份声明中说:“我们不需要等到加沙宣布饥荒时才知道人们已经在挨饿、生病和濒临死亡，而食品和药品就在边境的几分钟之内。”声明星期一。“今天的报告显示，如果不能立即获得食物和必需品，局势将继续恶化，导致更多人死亡，陷入饥荒。”
加沙的配料已经开始告罄，一些食品救济组织已经关闭。
四月下旬，联合国世界粮食计划署说它已将最后剩余的粮食库存送到加沙的热餐厨房，预计在未来几天内粮食将全部告罄。
此外，非营利组织世界中央厨房宣布的周三，它已经用完了在加沙做饭或烤面包所需的用品和原料。
“加沙的家庭在挨饿，而他们需要的食物却在边境。联合国世界粮食计划署执行主任辛迪·麦凯恩在一份声明中说:“由于冲突的重新爆发和3月初实施的全面禁止人道主义援助，我们无法向他们提供援助。”声明。“当务之急是国际社会采取紧急行动，让援助再次流入加沙。如果我们等到饥荒被确认之后，对许多人来说就已经太晚了。”
以色列政府表示，封锁是为了向哈马斯施压，迫使其释放人质和遇难者遗体，并接受延长停火协议第一阶段的新提议。停火协议第一阶段于3月18日结束。
世卫组织援引哈马斯控制的加沙卫生部的数据称，自封锁开始以来，已有57名儿童死于营养不良。根据世界卫生组织的报告，如果目前的情况持续下去，到2026年3月，估计将有70，500名6个月至5岁以下的儿童患有急性营养不良IPC报告.
孕妇和哺乳期妇女也面临风险，预计到2026年3月，将有近17 000人需要治疗急性营养不良。
援助工作者告诉ABC新闻这种营养不良使得加沙人更难从战争中受到的伤害中康复，他们还可能面临感染或皮肤移植失败的风险。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)政府的一名官员告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)，管理加沙人道主义援助的计划尚未敲定，首先是在整个飞地设立不到六个分发点。
“我们在加沙的团队成员靠他们能找到的最便宜的主食生存——小扁豆、蚕豆、干鹰嘴豆——如果有的话，”人道主义组织美慈的全球政策和宣传副总裁凯特·菲利普斯-巴拉索在一份声明中说声明。"加沙人民正在经历近代史上最悲惨的人道主义危机之一。"
她说，“在更多人丧生之前，现在必须取消所有食品、水和援助方面的障碍。”
Gaza's entire population faces 'critical' levels of hunger: Report
Gaza's entire population is experiencing critical levels of hunger amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and the third month of Israel cutting off aid to the strip, according to areportpublished Monday.
Gaza's 2.1 million residents will face a "crisis" level of food insecurity -- or worse -- from now through the end of September, according to a new report from theIntegrated Food Security Phase Classificationpartnership, whose members include the World Health Organization.
"Crisis" is the third-highest level of food insecurity, out of five, according to the IPC classification system. This is when households are either struggling to access food and are seeing cases of malnutrition or "are marginally able to meet minimum food needs but only by depleting essential livelihood assets," according to theIPC.
Of the entire population, three-quarters of Gaza's population are already classified at the "emergency" or "catastrophe" levels, which are the two worst stages of food insecurity, per the IPC.
The report projected that by the end of September, about 470,000 people Gaza, equivalent to about 22% of the population, will be classified as living under "catastrophe," which is equivalent to famine levels of starvation.
In the previous IPC report, released in October 2024, 12% of the population was projected to be under classified as living under "catastrophe."
The IPC saidfamine is classifiedwhen an area has 20% of households facing an extreme lack of food, 30% of children suffering from acute malnutrition, and two of every 10,000 people dying each day due to starvation or a combination of malnutrition and disease.
In a press release, the WHO said the situation in Gaza is "one of the world's worst hunger crises, unfolding in real time."
"We do not need to wait for a declaration of famine in Gaza to know that people are already starving, sick and dying, while food and medicines are minutes away across the border," WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in astatementon Monday. "Today's report shows that without immediate access to food and essential supplies, the situation will continue to deteriorate, causing more deaths and descent into famine."
Ingredients have started running out in Gaza, and some food relief organizations have already closed.
In late April, the United Nations' World Food Programmesaidit had delivered its last remaining food stocks to hot meal kitchens in Gaza, and it expected to fully run out of food in the coming days.
Additionally, the nonprofit group World Central Kitchenannouncedon Wednesday that it had run out of supplies and ingredients needed to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.
"Families in Gaza are starving while the food they need is sitting at the border. We can't get it to them because of the renewed conflict and the total ban on humanitarian aid imposed in early March," Cindy McCain, executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, said in astatement. "It's imperative that the international community acts urgently to get aid flowing into Gaza again. If we wait until after a famine is confirmed, it will already be too late for many people."
The Israeli government said the blockade is meant to pressure Hamas to release its hostages, as well as the remains of those who have died, and to accept a new proposal to extend phase one of the ceasefire deal, which ended March 18.
The WHO said that since the blockade began, 57 children have died from malnutrition, citing figures from the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health. If the current situation persists, an estimated 70,500 children between ages 6 months and just under 5 years old will experiencing acute malnutrition by March 2026, according to theIPC report.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are also at risk with nearly 17,000 expected to need treatment for acute malnutrition by March 2026.
Aid workerstold ABC Newsthat malnutrition makes it harder for Gazans to heal from injuries suffered during the war, and they can also be at risk of infections or skin graft failure.
An official from President Donald Trump's administration told ABC News there is a not-yet-finalized plan to administer the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza, starting with fewer than half a dozen distribution sites set up throughout the enclave.
"Our team members inside Gaza are surviving on the cheapest staples they can find -- lentils, fava beans, dry chickpeas -- if anything is available at all," Kate Phillips-Barrasso, vice president of global policy and advocacy for the humanitarian organization Mercy Corps, said in astatement. "The people of Gaza are enduring one of the most harrowing humanitarian crises in recent history."
"All barriers to food, water, and aid must be lifted now," she said, "before even more lives are lost."
