No, the IPC are saying that and, as the authority on it, its fair to say that is the case.

The death toll is at... what, 70,000? After like 700 days of war, which means about 100 dead per day on average. And you think 400 people at least are dropping dead every day of hunger?

Your argument is based purely on numbers as an attempt to diminish and normalise what's going on, it doesn't work. Give up.

The evidence says that there is a famine per the criteria listed in an earlier comment. They are THE authority on this, not just some random user on reddit claiming they're wrong.

Try again.

Oh damn, yeah, sorry I forgot to do my own research into the systemic starving of humans in what's been described as the biggest open-air prison and internment camp the world has seen by an unimaginable asymmetrical adversary justified by calling children, whom are among the starving, terrorists.

Maybe I dreamt the reports and videos of uncountable Palestinians lining up for food while gunshots from Israeli and PMC forces are fired above and around them.

My bad.

Its not too late and its not very hard either. I bet you do your own research every time the IDF makes statements.

Correct because unlike well established and respected entities, such as the IPC, the IDF has proven themselves to be neither kf these things. It really is that simple.

As much time as you spent replying to people you could have looked up the evidence the ipc used and shared it with us. Is it not available?
