About 677,000 Gazaouis, are in “catastrophic” conditions today and a further 41% are in “emergency” conditions. Half of Gazaouis, i.e., 1.1 million people, will be in “catastrophe” or “famine” within weeks. Acute food insecurity puts all children under five at high risk of severe malnutrition and preventable death. (IPC)
Around 1.7 million people have been forced to flee their homes (UNRWA)
Projections for the likely death toll in Gaza from all causes (incl. epidemics) over the months to August 2024 produce a range of 48,210 to 193,180 deaths, under a “status quo” scenario (The Guardian)
Most Gazaoui households are skipping meals every day. In Northern Gaza, 33% of children under the age of two is considered acutely malnourished and two-thirds of households have gone entire days without food at least 10 times in the last month. (FAO)
