Adire humanitarian crisis looms over northern Gaza, where more than 1 million people teeter on the brink of starvation, as reported by CNN. The situation, exacerbated by acute hunger affecting 70 percent of the population, paints a grim picture of impending catastrophe. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warns that famine could ravage the north between mid-March and May 2024, with half of Gaza’s 2.2 million inhabitants facing severe food shortages.
Reports of starvation-related deaths, including among children and infants, have already surpassed the threshold for famine, indicating an alarming escalation of the crisis. Desperate measures such as scavenging for food, consuming grass and animal feed, and drinking contaminated water have become distressingly common. Mothers, unable to produce sufficient milk, struggle to nourish their babies, while overwhelmed health facilities grapple with the demand for infant formula.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed grave concern, labeling the situation as the worst-ever recorded in terms of catastrophic hunger. The toll of preventable suffering underscores the urgent need for intervention. However, the European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, accuses Israel of exacerbating the crisis by impeding humanitarian aid and effectively weaponizing starvation.
