# A UN report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification says Gaza’s population of around 2.1-million Palestinians is at “critical risk” of famine and faces “extreme levels of food insecurity” as an Israeli blockade on humanitarian aid continues. According to the report the two-month ceasefire between Israel and Hamas led to an improvement, but renewed hostilities and the current Israeli blockade had reversed the situation. It says some 244-thousand people are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity and calls for urgent action to prevent the increasing risk of famine.
