PNN – A committee consisting of world food security experts warned about the “strong possibility” of an imminent famine in northern Gaza, at the same time as the Israeli regime continues to blockade this region.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the Guardian wrote: In a rare warning, the Independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) announced that “Immediate action, not in weeks but in days, is needed by all actors involved in the conflict, or who have influence to control it, to address and resolve this catastrophic situation.
This warning was issued a few days before the end of the American deadline for the Israeli regime to improve the humanitarian aid situation in Gaza. The United Nations declared almost a year ago that this area has become “uninhabitable” due to the attacks of the Israeli regime.
America claims that the continuation of its aid to the Zionist regime is conditional on the regime paying attention to Washington’s deadline for improving the humanitarian aid situation in Gaza.
Joe Biden’s administration had previously claimed that it had asked the Israeli regime to offer the possibility of more aid transfers. However, he refused to press for this request and even ignored what the institutions related to his government said. Organizations affiliated with the US government have confirmed that Israel is deliberately preventing the delivery of medicine and food to Gaza. According to US law, the transfer of weapons to countries that block the transfer of US-backed aid is cut off.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that between 75,000 and 95,000 people are also living in northern Gaza.
The Famine Review Committee stated that “starvation, malnutrition and excess mortality due to malnutrition and disease” is a “drastically increasing” issue in northern Gaza.
This global watch has declared that “the threshold of famine has probably been crossed or will be crossed in the near future.”
The Zionist regime claims that it does not implement such a plan. But recently, a Zionist military official told reporters that “we have no intention” of allowing Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza.
The Guardian added: Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on hospitals, schools and houses that sheltered refugees in this area, many of whom were unable to escape.
According to local health officials, more than 43,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli operations in Gaza, although experts say the true number is likely much higher. It is said that thousands of people are buried under the rubble and tens of thousands of others are injured.
The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that at least 14 civilians were killed in the Israeli attacks on Gaza in the late hours of Friday and the early hours of Saturday. At least 9 people were killed by Israeli warplanes in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
According to United Nations data, the amount of aid entering Gaza has reached its lowest level this year, and the United Nations has repeatedly accused the Israeli regime of delaying or obstructing aid efforts, especially in northern Gaza.
