The report stated that 500,000 people were facing catastrophic hunger in Gaza when the UN declared famine August 22, 2025. The IPC assessment pointed to the collapse of local food systems caused by conflict, resulting in severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel, and high levels of starvation, destitution, and death.
