Two-thirds of Gaza may face acute hunger by year-end despite improvements, global food monitor says

By Olivia Le Poidevin GENEVA, July 23 (Reuters) - More than two-thirds of Gazans could face acute hunger by the year-end as humanitarian agencies cut aid flows due to funding shortages, a global hunger monitor said on Wednesday. The latest assessment by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification found that acute malnutrition levels, particularly among children, had declined significantly after food supplies and nutrition services were stepped up following the October 2025 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. However, it said those gains risk being reversed.
