AP Reports Gaza Famine Averted, After Netanyahu’s 'Necessary Steps' of Starvation
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) now claims 'notable improvements' in Gaza's food security, despite warning months ago that famine was inevitable without a ceasefire and humanitarian aid access. This after COGAT, the Israeli military agency, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry, both notorious for blocking aid shipments and targeting aid workers (Reuters, WFP), suddenly insist
the aid flow 'significantly exceeds nutritional requirements.' Perhaps they’ve redefined 'nutritional requirements' to include rocks and rubble? One might wonder if the IPC's 'averted famine' finding appears just as world leaders face mounting pressure and potential legal action over starvation as a weapon of war. Remember, the UN has accused Israel of deliberately impeding aid since October
(UN.org). So, no famine, just 2,000 people facing 'catastrophic levels of hunger' (and that's the *good* news). How many more trucks must be stopped, how many more distribution centers bombed, before 'averted' becomes 'achievement unlocked'?
