An international hunger watchdog group said that while Gaza is no longer in famine conditions since the cease-fire, it's still food-insecure.

Gaza is no longer experiencing famine, a global hunger monitor has announced. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has attributed the improvement to enhanced humanitarian and commercial food deliveries following a fragile 10 October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants.

A paramilitary attack in April was one of the most brutal of Sudan’s civil war. Now, hunger is spreading as Western aid cuts have reduced U.N. rations.

A committee of UN agencies and other organizations says the food situation in the Gaza Strip has improved. They say a famine in and around Gaza City in the north is over, but warn that many people are still at risk.

The IPC famine monitoring organization says food security “remains critical” in the entire Gaza Strip, and has classified the territory in its “Emergency” Phase 4 category, the fourth highest of its five levels of food insecurity.
