# The UN’s aid chief Tom Fletcher says Friday’s famine report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification is “irrefutable”. He said in a social media statement that it is a famine that could have been prevented if aid had been allowed. However, food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel, resulting in a famine within a few hundred metres of food in a fertile land. Fletcher pleaded with Prime Minister Netanyahu to open all the crossings, to let food and other supplies in, unimpeded, and at the massive scale required.
