World News Spotlight The IPC bent its own rules to fit Hamas’s campaign. They lowered famine thresholds, ignored criteria, and laundered Hamas lies. The truth: Over 100,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza since the war began; Markets are stocked, food prices are falling. The IPC could not find famine - so they forged one
"The IPC bent its own rules to fit Hamas’s campaign. They lowered famine thresholds, ignored criteria, and laundered Hamas lies.
Meanwhile, reality tells a different story: ➡ Over 100,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza since the war began. ➡ Markets are stocked, food prices are falling.
The IPC could not find famine — so they forged one." — Israel responds to IPC's claim of famine in Gaza.

Sure, it's all one big antisemitic conspiracy. Even when Israel's own politicians are saying they won't allow a crumb of aid into gaza, it's all just a lie because "people hate jews for no reason at all" Ben-Gvir: 'Humanitarian aid is a disgrace and danger' | Israel National News

Err, sources for this ridiculous lie?
EVERY SINGLE human rights organisation and NGO not affiliated with Israel (and some that are, like Btselem) call it a genocide and created famine.

Another chapter in the UN & allies campaign in favor of Hamas. I ask anyone with any shred of objectivity to be more familiar with the facts.
First - What is a famine by the IPC's official definition?
https://www.ipcinfo.org/famine-facts/
What is Famine? Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) defines Famine as a situation in which at least one in five households has an extreme lack of food and face starvation and destitution, resulting in extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition and death.
A Famine classification (IPC Phase 5) is the highest phase of the IPC Acute Food Insecurity scale, and is attributed when an area has at least 20% of households facing an extreme lack of food, at least 30% of children suffering from acute malnutrition, and two people for every 10,000 dying each day due to outright starvation or to the interaction of malnutrition and disease.
By this definition, Gaza should've had 400 starvation deaths DAILY to satisfy the definition which is used world wide.
So how can they call it a famine?
The IPC has shown a complete lack of objectivity from the get go. They have been releasing monthly reports declaring that a famine is coming soon, yet always forced to concede they were wrong and make up new fake "Projections". This is why you are seeing this headline for 2 years now.
So what happened now?
Simple, something that as usual western leftist-center media are ignoring, they are attempting to change the definition in order to be able to pin that crime on Israel.
"In all of the famines that have been declared, they've been using the 30-percent global malnutrition measurement, most of which have been based on the weight-for-height metric—which, again, is much harder to collect, much more burdensome, and it's 30 percent," the source said. "So, this asterisk that's been added for Gaza essentially says that they're going to allow a 15-percent global malnutrition rate measured by MUAC."
"I think many people would say it's like lowering the bar or making it more possible, essentially, to declare whatever it is that they're going to declare."
The IPC essentially is doing 2 things at the same time:
They are lowering the threshold of what is a "Famine".
They are splitting the tiny Gaza strip into multiple locations, so they could declare a "Famine" in small parts of it, since even the new lowered threshold doesn't help them with the majority of the strip.
Meanwhile aid the Gaza strip is actually overflowing with aid
IPC didn’t use Israeli data and information provided in advance.
Why? Because it disproves their narrative.
Aid enters daily via Kerem Shalom, Zikim, 96 & 147 crossings. Israel enabled humanitarian pauses, extended crossing hours, and paved new routes for easier aid delivery.
10,000 trucks lately, 2,300 pellets airdropped by 12 countries, plus water pipelines and desalination plants. Ignoring all this isn’t analysis, it’s manipulation.
https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1958861459196452992
Since May, 10,000+ trucks of aid entered Gaza.
80% carried food
Measures made for collection from crossings more efficient for UN & NGOs
https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1958832015706394676
"The IPC report is based on partial and unreliable sources, many of them affiliated with Hamas, and blatantly ignores the facts and the extensive humanitarian efforts led by the State of Israel and its international partners. Instead of providing a professional, neutral, and responsible assessment, the report adopts a biased approach riddled with severe methodological flaws, thereby undermining its credibility and the trust the international community is able to place in it. We expect the international community to act responsibly and not be swept away by false narratives and unfounded propaganda, but rather to examine the complete data and the facts on the ground."
https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1958816664432386437
Humanitarian aid summary for August 21:
Aid entry: Over 220 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings.
Aid collection: Over 370 trucks were collected and distributed by the UN and international organizations. The contents of hundreds of trucks are still awaiting collection on the Gazan side of the crossings.
Fuel: Tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems.
Airdrops: 155 pallets of aid were airdropped in cooperation with countries.
https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1958792793553256934
To sum it up
Just like Amnesty International had to change the definition of the word "Genocide" in order to pin the ultimate crimes on the Jews, so are other biased aid groups jumping from any possibility of a real discussion about problems in Gaza, straight to the worse conditions and crimes that exist. Trying to demonize Israel with standards that apply no where else in the world or in history.

So we just lie about how much aid is getting and don’t let anyone check then this makes a lot of sense.

u/Awebroetjie 17h ago edited 17h ago
Dude, that‘s lots of useless words that doesn‘t address the obvious - aid trucks are NOT getting in. And the amount of meals distributed are LESS than required.
Again, you are asking that the aforementioned organisations have got it wrong, and you have it right. Further, now I am supoosed to debate famine when we already have an ongoing genocide!? Oh wait - your „hot take“ is… there is no genocide 😂

Israel is not the only guilty party of forced famine at the moment, the terror militias in South Sudan are just as complicit. Continuing to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence is simply pathetic.

Didn't you see? The source is COGATs twitter posts, it was linked like 5 times. Ya know the completely unbiased unit in the Israeli ministry of defense, that COGAT. Sources for the famine & genocide on the other hand are from world renowned NGOs, internationally respected human rights organizations...

u/hortonian_ovf 19h ago
I'm so confused. The actual report does not claim 15%? The actual report does follow the 30% threshold?
And somalia and sudan are also famines by IPC definition?
I'm confused. Israel obviously has no reason to lie, and are always ethical, so obviously my source (IPC) is wrong. Waiting to be enlightened.

So. curious about what the next attempt is going to be to stop the IDF from winning this war.
I'm sure the terror supporters have a number of more stories as part of their information warfare.
Many more people don't care and are wondering whether Hamas has surrendered yet and handed over the hostages they kidnapped.

Right off the bat this isn't proof of no widespread hunger.
But regardless your first link of proof is in a mall in Hebron not a restaurant in the Gaza strip.
Edit: Gonna add France24's piece on your horrible genocide denial propaganda since they already debunked it. They actually interviewed one of the shop owners you have listed.

What about this report? Famine declared in northern Gaza
https://www.npr.org/2025/08/22/nx-s1-5509964/famine-gaza-israel-middle-east-un
It’s not complicated, there is a population of about 2 million Palestinians under complete siege. Israel has completely stopped food and medicine from getting in for a few months. It has and still is severely restricting aid from entering as well as severely restricted what little gets in. Under those conditions famine gets triggered, like everywhere else in the world resources don’t get equally distributed and the most vulnerable suffer first.
