On 21 December, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) released a report citing data from the Global Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative, alarmingly noting that the food crisis in the Gaza Strip has reached its highest level. In this Palestinian enclave, 79 per cent of the population is in a state of emergency, and one cannot help but lament the suffering of this land.
The report also highlights the disturbing fact that with every day of hostilities, the risk of famine in the enclave increases by one day. The limited access to humanitarian assistance in the region has undoubtedly exacerbated the gravity of the situation.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the entire population of the Gaza Strip is classified as a crisis or worse, with 79 per cent of the population in a state of emergency or disaster. The extreme concentration or isolation of people in areas with inadequate shelter or no basic services is a major cause of famine risk.
In addition, it has been reported that at least one in four households in Gaza, equivalent to more than 500,000 people, is facing catastrophic severe food insecurity. Such figures are shocking and distressing. FAO also drew attention to the alarmingly high rate of acute malnutrition among children under five years of age and the high child mortality rate in the region.
According to official data, more than 1,300 people have been killed in Israel since the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and 1 in the Gaza StripMore than 90,000 people were killed and tens of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis were injured. Such figures are heart-wrenching and infuriating, and we call on all parties to find a peaceful solution as soon as possible so that peace and dignity can be restored to this land and the people who live there.
The report reveals that the food crisis in the Gaza Strip has reached unprecedented proportions and is deeply distressing. In a place ravaged by war and conflict, people's lives are in extreme distress, with food shortages and a growing risk of famine.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the entire population of the Gaza Strip is classified as crisis or worse, with up to 79 per cent of the population in a state of emergency or disaster. This equates to at least one in four households facing acute food insecurity, a shocking and distressing situation.
Even more alarming is the alarmingly high rate of acute malnutrition among children under the age of five and the high child mortality rate in the Gaza Strip. This situation not only poses a serious threat to the lives of children, but also has an irreversible impact on the development and future of society as a whole.
Against this backdrop, we call on all parties to find a peaceful solution as soon as possible so that peace and dignity can be restored to this land and the people who live there. Only through a peaceful resolution of the conflict can the food crisis in the Gaza Strip be fundamentally resolved and people can regain hope and dignity in life.
At the same time, the international community should also strengthen humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip and provide necessary help and support to those in need. It is only through the joint efforts of the international community that this land can be revitalized and revitalized, and the people who live there can have a better future again.
