Un Declares End To Famine In Gaza, Says Humanitarian Crisis Remains Serious

The True Post (Web News) The United Nations has declared the end of the famine in Gaza, saying that the nutritional situation has improved to some extent due to improved access to humanitarian aid.

However, the world body has warned that the overall situation in the region is still very fragile and uncertain. According to the news agency, the United Nations said in a statement issued on Friday that the famine that was officially declared in August has now ended. The United Nations says that the severity of malnutrition has decreased due to the increase in the delivery of aid supplies and the possibility of access to some areas, but despite this, millions of people are still facing serious difficulties. The
United Nations monitoring body **Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)** has said in its report that there has been a temporary improvement in the food security situation in the Gaza Strip, but it cannot be called sustainable. According to the organization, more than 70 percent of the population of Gaza is still forced to live in temporary shelters, where basic facilities are severely lacking.
The report further states that winter rains are causing flooding in many areas, which is likely to further affect the availability and distribution of food. In these circumstances, there is a risk of a resurgence of hunger and malnutrition, especially for children, women and the elderly. The UN monitoring agency has clarified that the Gaza Strip is still in the **emergency food security category**, however, according to the current assessment, no area of ​​Gaza has been reclassified as famine until April 2026. Meanwhile, the UN has called on the international community to maintain continuity in aid activities, as even a minor interruption in aid could rekindle the famine situation in Gaza. The agency warned that the food crisis could intensify once again if the provision of humanitarian assistance and basic services is reduced.
