The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has warned that almost 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next 11 months.
They warn that the announcement of further military offensives in Gaza prevents aid agencies from helping the people.
They warn that ~22% face Catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
This will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable: Children, the Elderly, Pregnant Women and those already sick or wounded.
