Mondoweiss: Famine has officially taken hold in Gaza, and it is ‘entirely man-made’, experts say

Famine has officially taken hold in Gaza, and it is ‘entirely man-made’, experts say

The world’s largest authority on food crises declared that Gaza City, the largest governorate in the Gaza Strip, is officially experiencing famine. If the international community doesn’t intervene, the famine will spread – fast.

The world’s largest authority on food crises declared Friday that Gaza City, the largest governorate in the Gaza Strip, is officially experiencing a “man-made famine,” and that other areas in the besieged strip are not far behind.

The UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) published a report on Friday saying that in Gaza City and the surrounding areas, which are now the target of intensified Israeli military attacks, roughly 30% of households are experiencing catastrophic levels of famine.

According to the IPC, more than 500,000 people in the Gaza Strip, which make up roughly a quarter of the population, are either close to or have already reached catastrophic levels of famine (IPC Phase 5). If the situation on the ground does not change quickly, that number is expected to rise to more than 641,000 – one third of the population – by the end of September, while those in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) will likely rise to 1.14 million, or 58% of the population.

The IPC also said that between now and next year, “at least 132,000 children under five are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition — double the IPC estimates from May 2025. This includes over 41,000 severe cases of children at heightened risk of death.”

The time for debate and hesitation has passed, starvation is present and is rapidly spreading. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that an immediate, at-scale response is needed.

IPC report

“As this famine is entirely man-made, it can be halted and reversed. The time for debate and hesitation has passed, starvation is present and is rapidly spreading. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that an immediate, at-scale response is needed. Any further delay—even by days—will result in a totally unacceptable escalation of Famine-related mortality,” the report stated.

“If a ceasefire is not implemented to allow humanitarian aid to reach everyone in the Gaza Strip, and if essential food supplies, and basic health, nutrition, and WASH services are not restored immediately, avoidable deaths will increase exponentially,” it continued. The IPC also appealed directly to the international community, saying the world “can no longer afford to be diverted by short-term, marginal improvements; the scale of the crisis demands a sustained, large-scale response. “

Friday’s report marked the first time famine was declared in the Middle East.

The IPC warned that the Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah governorates in Gaza, which are already experiencing severe food shortages, will reach the final stage of famine, similar to Gaza City, in the coming weeks.

The report also noted that experts believe the situation in the northern Gaza Strip, north of Gaza City, is likely similar or worse than the famine currently being experienced in Gaza City, but that due to lack of access to the north – areas like Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun – and available data, a formal classification could not be made for that area. “Urgent steps should be taken to allow for a full humanitarian assessment in this governorate,” the report said.

The report explained that the factors contributing to the catastrophic food shortage in the region include “the destruction of local food production systems, the imposition of goods restrictions, and the displacement of the population away from food sources or available production systems.”

It also noted that the trickle of aid that has been permitted by the Israeli army to enter Gaza, in addition to air-dropped assistance carried out by some Arab countries, are insufficient to fill the current gaps in food consumption in the Gaza Strip, and expressed “grave concern” over the “large-scale killing of civilians while trying to access food deliveries and the inadequate planning, implementation, and monitoring of the privatized food distributions conducted by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).”

“Constant cycles of increased humanitarian access followed by severe restrictions, together with stark disparities among vulnerable populations, have left many at heightened risk of a rapid collapse in health and nutrition status.

Increasing reports of malnutrition-related deaths indicate that the most vulnerable in society are beginning to succumb. This trend is expected to increase amongst vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases, before spreading to the wider population,” the report said.

Government authorities in the Gaza Strip confirmed the findings of the report. The Director of the Government Media Office in Gaza City stated that 1.2 million children in the Strip have effectively entered the fifth stage of hunger, due to the continued closure of crossings by the Israeli army and the prevention of importing the necessary quantities for this large population.

He pointed out that since May 27, 2025, Israel began allowing dozens of trucks under enormous international and media pressure. Still, only 14% of the actual needs of the population were delivered, leaving the rest of Gaza’s residents without food.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, a total of 273 people in Gaza have died from starvation as of August 22, 2025, more than 100 of them children. 

Friday’s report comes on the heels of months of warnings from local Palestinian and global health institutions, including the IPC itself, that Gaza was fast plunging into catastrophic conditions of famine and starvation due to the Israeli siege.

Despite this, Israel has continued to deny the reality on the ground. In response to Friday’s report, the Israeli foreign ministry said in a statement that “there is no famine in Gaza,” and accused the IPC report of relying on “Hamas lies”.

As the genocide in Gaza approaches two years, Israel has ramped up its attacks, vowing a full-scale military takeover and occupation of Gaza City by October 7, 2025. Residents in Gaza City say the military invasion has begun, and has already resulted in the total destruction of entire historic neighborhoods in Gaza City.

The IPC report on Friday highlighted Israel’s military plans in Gaza City, saying that it would severely exacerbate the already catastrophic famine that has set in.

“While not directly included in the analysis team assumptions, it [the takeover of Gaza City] would have a considerable impact on the intensity of conflict and scope of military operations across the northern governorates. Subsequent injuries, deaths, and displacement of populations still residing in the Gaza Governorate would be expected. Any forced relocation of already fragile populations, especially through militarized zones to the south, would have severe consequences on these households on the move and upon arrival. These developments are significantly more severe than the original assumptions used by the analysis team for their projection analysis,” the report said.

    A “leftist Jew”? Controlled opposition? Hamas, a Jewish invention? Gaza, really now “a land of milk and honey”?

    This is nothing new as far as jewish strategy is concerned. They starved close to 10,000,000 Ukrainians and kulaks in the 1930s in what is known as the Holodomor. There is no more dishonorable and cowardly way to conduct warfare than by explicitly targeting the innocent. The world sits by and permits this to happen in broad daylight. Why? Because the jews control the issuance of currency in every Western nation and THIS… is the fount of all their power on earth. It must be wrenched from their grasp lest we all suffer the same fate as the Ukrainians and Palestinians.

    Why Anglos call their testicles balls instead of eggs like Germans is a mystery. Are they spherical? They also refer to them as marbles. That would partially explain their below-average capacity. Balls are artificial objects that do not exist in nature, the term is much younger than eggs or nuts. Btw, glass marbles are said to have originated in Nuremberg.

    Now we also know why former “Blood & Honor” member Sven Liebich suddenly wants to be a woman named Marja-Svenja. This peculiar gender reassignment has a serious cause for him, but an amusing one for everyone else. It must have been this incident of his typical irrational overconfidence that led to his self-castration, so to speak, a kick to his own balls.

    The Santa hat on his hollow head is significant, as “Weinhnachstmann” is a synonym for idiot. Now his main meal consists of egg salad & Klötenköm, as Low German calls egg liqueur. The saying “egg make egg” won’t help anymore. Anyone who eats a lot of protein can successfully mount his wife several times in a row, even if she is as “ugly as the night”.

    He has rotten eggs dangling between his legs, which are now class C (if ever reached class B). His patient-buddy and congenial co-idiot Dennis Ingo Schulz, aka “TTA” (claims to be a Dipl.-Ing., but presumably purchased his degree in Moldova), who operates in roughly the same intellectual league, can smuggle liqueur chocolates into prison for him.

    Another such “unique figures of the alternative
    scene” is selfdeclared “Volkstribun” Curd Schu-
    macher, the poorest leader of the world, perma-
    ranting raddled “professor of the station bums”.

    One may also recall SAP specialist Wolfgang Rettig from “multi-criminal” Mannheim, who fell for an Austrian fraudster who persuaded him to invest thousands of euros in a worthless piece of land in rural Hungary, where he wanted to “flee Merkel’s Germany.” However, he couldn’t stand it there for long in the incredibly desolate Puszta and took off with an African prostitute, for which he was then stalked for years by his business partner with “reputation-damaging” videos and blog posts. https://www.bitchute.com/video/nU5yQH8ePALf

    Rettig tragically lost his right eye as a child when it was hit by a toy bow arrow fired by a playmate. However, he was a lovable, slightly autistic character who was unfortunately taken advantage of due to his naivety and has since disappeared from the public eye, which brings us to the next topic, which has no satirical component whatsoever.

    As we all know and experience bitterly every day, the perverted post-modern clownworld’s most evil monster-word, even worse than “Satan” (which formerly often referred to Jews as Christ killers and deceivers of the world), namely “Nazi” (as the prototypical arch-enemies of the noble, eternally victimized Jews, but indirectly meant Germans, extended: Whitey), is constantly being stretched and expanded like a worn-out rubber band, now even to include child molesters:

    A 22 y/o bimbo with the Lower Saxony surname Allhusen fantasizes about precisely the kind of idiotic bullshit that the British Judenpresse intends to publish: “Inconceivable horror caused by Nazi pedophile monster!” Are they trying to distract attention from their “BBC legend” Jimmy Savile or even Epstein’s pedo-prince Andrew? Contrary to Jewish pedophile rings reaching into the highest circles, the evil Nazis would have hung such creatures from the nearest gallows.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15014145/Inside-horrifying-paedophile-sect-run-one-eyed-Nazi-colonel-German-style-Chilean-village-children-tortured-abused-tourist-hotspot.html

    One wonders anyway what kind of strange interest these people have in the subject of pedophilia, when they don’t give a damn about the fate of white children “right under their noses but under their radar” (as in Rotherham and elsewehre). Don’t they have any more optimistic topics to offer? I would think that their oh-so divers-tolerant existence consists of pure love, just like that of the one-eyed Schäfer (means shepherd)?

    From an absolutely reliable German source, we learn: “Schäfer was a member of a Christian YMCA ‘Eichenkreuz’ group. […] Contrary to media and personal accounts, he was never an officer in the Wehrmacht or a member of Nazi organizations, but rather a nurse who served as a medic in France during World War II.”

    Those who wish to sustainably ruin their good
    mood have the opportunity to do so extensively
    with this German-British “ Gesamtkuntswerk”.

    The alleged “mass murderer who was never punished”

    Yes, the Tommies had a fact-free song, “Hitler has only got one ball, Himmler is very similar, and poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.” The term “ball” for a testicle has an ancient origin in Proto-Indo-European (search online). But to indict the British serviceman past or present of cowardice is despicable.
