Israeli rejects 'biased' warning of famine in Gaza

10/11/2024 12:07
        Israel rejected on Saturday a group of global food security experts' warning of famine in parts of northern Gaza where it is waging war against Palestinian militant group Hamas.
        
        The military said in a statement, "Unfortunately, the researchers continue to rely on partial, biased data and superficial sources with vested interests."
        
        The independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) said on Friday in a rare alert that there was a strong likelihood of imminent famine in parts of north Gaza with immediate action required from the warring parties to ease a catastrophic situation.
        
        Israel said it had increased aid efforts including opening an additional crossing on Friday.
        
        Asked about the FRC alert, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said on Saturday that Washington was "concerned about the limited amount of aid reaching civilians living in Gaza" and that the report underscored the situation's urgency.
