At least 91% of Gaza's 1.95 million residents—about 1.76 million people—are experiencing food shortages, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
The agency's report indicates that 876,000 people are facing an emergency level of acute food insecurity, classified as Phase 4 on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) scale. An additional 345,000 people are enduring catastrophic food scarcity, the fifth and highest phase, signaling that these individuals have virtually nothing to eat, leading to malnutrition, illness, and death.
OCHA notes that Gaza's food security situation has become dire, with two-thirds of its agricultural land affected by military action and approximately 70% of its fishing fleet destroyed.
