    GIEWS Update, 10 October 2024
    Emerging La Niña conditions raise concerns about agricultural production and food security, particularly in areas still recovering from the lingering effects of the recent El Niño

    La Niña is expected to emerge in late 2024 and persist into early 2025, bringing extreme weather events that could cause extensive agricultural damage and worsen food security conditions. Dry weather conditions are forecast in parts of East Africa, Central Asia, the Near East and southern parts of South America, while excessive rainfall and flooding are likely in Central America, Southern Africa and Southeast Asia. There is particular concern for the areas that are still recovering from the lingering effects of the recent El Niño and are also at risk of La Niña, including parts of East and Southern Africa where acute food insecurity is already at critical levels.

    GIEWS Update – The Gaza Strip, 27 August 2025
    Famine declared in the Gaza Strip
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Famine (IPC Phase 5) is confirmed in Gaza Governorate and projected to expand to Deir al‑Balah and Khan Younis governorates by the end of September 2025. Nearly 2 million people are projected to face severe acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), with about 641 000 in Famine (IPC Phase 5). The conflict in the Gaza Strip has displaced nearly 2 million people, decimated livelihoods, destroyed infrastructure and caused the collapse of the agricultural sector. The population is almost entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. However, border blockades and restricted humanitarian access have drastically constrained the availability of food and other essential goods within the Gaza Strip.

    GIEWS Update – The Gaza Strip, 5 August 2025
    The relentless conflict has resulted in risk of Famine unfolding in the Gaza Strip

    No results found.

    The worst-case scenario of Famine is unfolding in the Gaza Strip, as reported by the latest IPC Alert in July 2025. Between May and September 2025, an estimated 2.1 million people are projected to face severe acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), with nearly 469 500 facing catastrophic conditions (IPC Phase 5). The conflict in the Gaza Strip has displaced nearly 2 million people, decimated livelihoods, destroyed infrastructure, and caused the collapse of the agricultural sector. As a result, the population is now almost entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. However, border blockades and restricted humanitarian access have drastically constrained the availability of food and other essential goods within the Gaza Strip.
