Food security experts said a famine reported in August had been alleviated but that the situation remained dire across the enclave, despite a cease-fire in October and greater flows of aid.

There is no longer famine in Gaza, a global hunger monitor said on Friday, after access to humanitarian and commercial food deliveries improved following a fragile Oct. 10 ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Gaza is no longer experiencing famine, a global hunger monitor has announced. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has attributed the improvement to enhanced humanitarian and commercial food deliveries following a fragile 10 October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants.

A committee of UN agencies and other organizations says the food situation in the Gaza Strip has improved. They say a famine in and around Gaza City in the north is over, but warn that many people are still at risk.

A paramilitary attack in April was one of the most brutal of Sudan’s civil war. Now, hunger is spreading as Western aid cuts have reduced U.N. rations.

The spread of famine has been averted in Gaza, yet the situation remains critical with the entire strip still facing starvation, the world’s leading authority on food crises said.

The IPC famine monitoring organization says food security “remains critical” in the entire Gaza Strip, and has classified the territory in its “Emergency” Phase 4 category, the fourth highest of its five levels of food insecurity.
