Maggoty ,

For the record the IPC has already declared a Famine in Northern Gaza. And Southern Gaza is at level 5 (Catastrophic), expected to make the final upgrade to Famine in the next reporting cycle. According to the last report it is likely already in Famine as their "nothing changes" prediction says.

A lot of people are already dying, and we're just watching it happen.

Edit- I forgot we're due for the next update so I checked the site. Here's their money quote. I am ashamed to be human right now.

The famine threshold for household acute food insecurity has already been far exceeded and, given the latest data showing a steeply increasing trend in cases of acute malnutrition, it is highly likely that the famine threshold for acute malnutrition has also been exceeded. The upward trend in non-trauma mortality is also expected to accelerate, resulting in all famine thresholds likely to be passed imminently.
