But food consumption is still insufficient for most families, as more than 1.2 million people, or about 59 percent of Gaza’s population, were exposed to severe hunger during the period from mid-April to the end of last June.

The “Integrated Phase Classification Framework for Food Security,” referred to by the abbreviation “IPC,” was established in 2004 at the level of the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
The IPC Observatory aims to enhance food security and nutrition analysis, to guide accurate and effective decisions in food crises. It relies on data from international organizations, UN agencies, and development and humanitarian bodies.
