The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reported that famine was imminent in Gaza and North Gaza governorates, projected to occur between mid-March and May if conditions persisted. The assessment cited extremely high levels of acute food insecurity, with barriers to humanitarian access and the destruction of livelihoods and services. It was a projection based on available evidence, not a retrospective declaration that famine thresholds had already been formally confirmed across the whole territory.
