Bericht des Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), 22.8.2025 (engl. Original)
The FRC conclusion of Famine currently happening in Gaza Governorate is the first time Famine has been classified by the FRC after five rounds of activation for Gaza since December 2023. The outlook is for the situation to worsen rapidly, with exponential increases in catastrophic loss of life and mass suffering.
The cause of this catastrophe is entirely man made. It is a moral and humanitarian imperative to summon the political will to provide humanitarian aid in accordance with humanitarian principles, end the conflict, ensure protection, and restore basic living standards for all people, and in particular vulnerable groups.
In contrast to the previous four FRC reports, this report makes only two main recommendations:
1. Act without delay to put in place an immediate humanitarian response at a large enough scale to prevent further deepening of suffering and avoidable mortality from this entirely man-made catastrophe.
There should be no equivocation, no doubt, and no excuse for inaction. Partial and temporary relaxations of restrictions have been repeatedly implemented in response to previous reviews and alerts, only for restrictions to be reapplied as international attention has turned elsewhere. Failure to act decisively now will result in an avoidable escalation of a catastrophe.
2. Exert maximum pressure to achieve a ceasefire. This is necessary to allow for restoration of essential, lifesaving services at the scale required to revert famine conditions.
