Famine
Context
Report claims that famine is now imminent in Northern governorates of Gaza.
What is Famine?
- Famine is essentially a technical term, referring to a population that faces widespread malnutrition and hunger-related deaths due to a lack of access to food.
- There is a famine when three conditions come together in a specific geographic area-
- At least 20 per cent of the population in that particular area are facing extreme levels of hunger;
- 30 per cent of the children in the same place are wasted, or too thin for their height; and
- The death – or mortality – rate has doubled, from the average, surpassing two deaths per 10,000 daily for adults and four deaths per 10,000 daily for children.
