The UN has declared famine in Gaza, revealing a critical humanitarian crisis.
The UN is notoriously focused on condemning Israel far beyond the number of times it condemns other nations in the world.
From 2015 through 2023, the UN General Assembly has adopted 154 resolutions against Israel and 71 against other countries.
In 2024, the UNGA is expected to adopt 18 resolutions on Israel and only seven resolutions on the entire rest of the world, which include one resolution each on North Korea, Iran, Syria, Myanmar, Russia for its violations in Georgia, Russia for its occupation of Crimea, and the United States for its embargo on Cuba, as detailed in the charts below.
Today, the UN released an analysis under its Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), concluding that parts of Gaza are now suffering from famine.
The IPC, an internationally recognized system for classifying food insecurity and malnutrition, said in its report that famine had been confirmed in the Gaza Governorate — and that it was projected to expand to the Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis Governorates farther south by the end of September if the humanitarian situation does not change.
The number of people now experiencing famine in Gaza was nearly 514,000, the IPC said — around a quarter of the enclave’s population. That was projected to rise to 641,000 by the end of September.
„Famine is a race against time“, the IPC said.
