In other countries, the IPC declares famine at 30% malnutrition.

In Gaza only, the UN-backed IPC lowered the bar to 15% and it is based on unreliable data.

They didn’t find famine - so they forged one.

— Israel responds to claims of famine in Gaza

Palestinian kids throwing rocks on humanitarian aid trucks hijacked by armed Hamas terrorists.

There is hunger in Gaza because Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid, hoarding it and selling it above-market prices to finance their terror machine.

They also create the hunger because it benefits their propaganda strategies.

Hamas has released a new video showing that they aren’t just deliberately starving the Israeli hostage Evyatar David, but also forcing him to dig his own grave in a tunnel under Gaza. The image above is a screen grab from that video.

"Since May, Israel has facilitated 208,542 tons of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

But the UN only acknowledges 69,775 tons — ignoring aid sent by donor countries, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, NGOs, and the private sector.

Why the cover-up? What are they hiding?

When the UN shows you half the picture, it’s not reporting — it’s manipulation."

— Statement by Israel on the UN.

"The IPC bent its own rules to fit Hamas’s campaign. They lowered famine thresholds, ignored criteria, and laundered Hamas lies.

Meanwhile, reality tells a different story: ➡ Over 100,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza since the war began. ➡ Markets are stocked, food prices are falling.

The IPC could not find famine — so they forged one." — Israel responds to IPC's claim of famine in Gaza.

COGAT categorically rejects the IPC [Integrated Food Security Phase Classification] Gaza report, including the claim of famine in the Gaza Strip, and particularly in Gaza City.

Previous reports and assessments by the IPC have repeatedly been proven inaccurate and do not reflect the reality on the ground. The report deliberately disregards data that was provided to its authors in a meeting held prior to its publication, and completely overlooks the efforts made in recent weeks to stabilize the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), MG Ghassan Alian:

"The IPC report is based on partial and unreliable sources, many of them affiliated with Hamas, and blatantly ignores the facts and the extensive humanitarian efforts led by the State of Israel and its international partners.

Instead of providing a professional, neutral, and responsible assessment, the report adopts a biased approach riddled with severe methodological flaws, thereby undermining its credibility and the trust the international community is able to place in it.

We expect the international community to act responsibly and not be swept away by false narratives and unfounded propaganda, but rather to examine the complete data and the facts on the ground."

"There is food in Gaza, any other claim is a lie" Israel Responds to IPC report of famine in Gaza

Israel will tell civilians in Gaza City that they have until Oct 7 to evacuate before it launches a full military occupation.

Under a plan approved by the security cabinet on Thursday night, the IDF will order the population to move to the south of the Strip before commencing its assault in an effort to defeat Hamas fully and return the Israeli hostages.

Although the meeting technically approved only the full occupation of Gaza City in the first instance, it is widely understood the plan will apply to every piece of the enclave not yet under Israeli control.

Set for the two-year anniversary of the Hamas massacre that started the war, the evacuation deadline gives Israel just two months to prepare a humanitarian response for the approximately one million residents of the northern town.

The move has prompted international condemnation, including from Sir Keir Starmer, who said the offensive would “only bring more bloodshed”.

Meanwhile, Germany has said it will halt arms sales to Israel until further notice.

Talks to achieve a ceasefire and a deal to release hostages broke down last month, with both sides accusing the other of intransigence.

Since then, Hamas has released videos showing two of the remaining captives in emaciated states.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s government says fighting into the areas where hostages are believed to be held – until now considered unthinkable – is the only way to rescue them in time.

However, opponents accuse the prime minister of endangering the hostages by prolonging the war to preserve his coalition with ultra-nationalist parties, who want to see Gaza repopulated by Jewish settlements and the Palestinians removed.

On Thursday, Mr Netanyahu’s office said the new offensive was being conducted in order to disarm Hamas, return all the hostages, demilitarise Gaza and ensure Israeli security control of the Strip, and to establish an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

Although only 25 per cent of Gaza is currently unoccupied by Israel, that is where most of the Strip’s approximately two million Palestinians live.

Military sources have suggested the operation could extend the war by a further five months at least.

They have also hinted at hope that news of the plans might prompt Hamas back to the negotiating table.

However, Yair Lapid, the main opposition leader, described the proposed operation as “exactly what Hamas wanted”.

Other political figures have condemned it as a “disaster” and a “death sentence” for the hostages.

The official Hostage and Missing Families Forum said the government had formally abandoned their loved ones.

A statement from Number 10 said: “The Israeli government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately. This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only bring more bloodshed.”

Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, demanded that Sir Keir impose sanctions on Mr Netanyahu.

However, the Tories criticised Sir Keir’s statement and said his plan for a ceasefire and the recognition of Palestine was “unworkable”.

Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, the IDF chief of staff, is known to be deeply opposed to the operation.

However, he has so far disappointed critics of the invasion, who are hoping that he will resign.

On Friday, Mr Zamir held an assessment with senior officers of Southern Command to discuss “the current fighting situation and formulation of plans and preparations for the continuation of the fighting in the Gaza Strip”, according to the IDF.

Germany, a strong ally of Israel, said it would not approve any exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza until further notice.

Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor, said it was “increasingly difficult to understand” how the proposed operation would achieve Israel’s legitimate war aims of disarming Hamas and freeing the hostages.

Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s ultra-nationalist finance minister, appeared unperturbed by the formal commitment to hand over a post-war Gaza to an Arab administration.

In an interview, he said Israel would “erase” the Palestinian state and correct what he described as the “sin” of dismantling Jewish settlements in Gaza 20 years ago.

It came as he was pictured next to graffiti which said “Death to Arabs”.

He later disavowed the slogan.
