This week a United Nations-backed food security report showed that 96 percent of Gaza’s population — 2.15 million people — now face crisis levels of hunger, with nearly 500,000 people starving.

People are resorting to desperate measures like boiling weeds, eating animal feed, and exchanging clothes for money to stave off hunger and keep their children alive.

Just days after the IPC issued the Gaza report, they released another report showing a staggering 25 million people in Sudan now face starvation after 14 months of relentless conflict.

For months now, parts of Sudan, notably greater Darfur, have been cut off from aid and deprived of food, clean water, and healthcare. The conflict has devastated food production, causing severe malnutrition among children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, the chronically ill, and the elderly.
     
"Tragically, [this report] confirms what humanitarian actors and civilians on the ground already know: famine is at the door. History has shown that by the time a famine is officially declared, people are already dying at a horrifying pace."
