After several months of warnings that a “famine is imminent” in the Gaza Strip, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) walked back its claim in its latest report issued on Tuesday.

“The available evidence does not indicate that famine is currently occurring,” the IPC, a group comprised of a partnership between humanitarian groups, food experts and the United Nations, reported in a snapshot published on June 25. The group is funded by several Western countries, including Canada, the European Union and the United States.
