Since March 2, Israel has completely sealed Gaza’s border crossings, pushing its 2.4 million residents into famine. Famine has been officially confirmed in northern Gaza and is projected to expand to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis in central and southern Gaza by the end of September, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
Since IPC declared famine in Gaza, 157 people have starved to death, including 32 children.
The Israeli army resumed its assault on March 18, breaking a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that had taken effect in January. Since then, 12,590 people have been killed and 53,884 wounded in renewed attacks. []
