Food security specialists warn that the threat of starvation in Gaza continues to be significant.

The global organization responsible for assessing hunger crises has indicated that the Gaza Strip remains at a severe risk of famine, now more than a year into the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Despite a recent decrease in the number of individuals experiencing extreme hunger, the situation remains precarious.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has consistently issued warnings about potential famine throughout the duration of the war.
Its most recent report, published on Thursday, highlights concerns that conditions may worsen in the upcoming months as the conflict continues and winter approaches.

In response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the United States has recently cautioned Israel about the possibility of reducing military support if more measures are not taken to alleviate the situation.
In contrast, Israel claims it is acting within the framework of international law and is making efforts to ensure aid delivery to those in need.

This ongoing situation underscores the complex dynamics at play as the international community grapples with the dual challenges of conflict resolution and humanitarian relief in a region beset with instability.
