Gaza Officially Classified as a "Famine Zone"... UN Warnings of an Unprecedented Humanitarian Disaster Gaza - Arab Sea In a dangerous development, the United Nations, through its global food monitoring network, announced that Gaza has officially entered the famine stage, becoming the first region outside Africa to be declared with this catastrophic classification. More than 514,000 Palestinians face the risk of severe daily hunger, and the number is expected to rise to 641,000 by the end of September if the Israeli siege continues and aid is prevented from entering. Humanitarian sources confirmed that the policy of "systematic starvation" has become a tool of war in itself, used to subjugate Gazan society, force it to surrender, and force it to leave its land in violation of international law. On the other hand, this classification places the international community in the face of a difficult moral and legal test: Famine is not a natural disaster, but a direct result of a political-military decision. Analysts believe that the declaration of famine may push some European countries to demand an international investigation or exert increased pressure on the Netanyahu government, but the absence of American will so far makes this pressure limited in impact.
