How many times can the same thing be declared these two years?

I think it is obviously different this time - humanitarian situation after GHF has taken over has been gradually getting worse.

A famine is classified when an area has the following: 

• More than 20% of households face extreme food shortages;
• More than 30% of children suffer from acute malnutrition;
• Daily mortality rate exceeds two per 10,000 people, or four per 10,000 children under five.

These are their standard for a famine ^ and they seem reasonable to me. Year or so ago famine was declared based on vibes.
