Israel has pushed back at a UN-backed report declaring famine in areas of Gaza, calling it 'tailor-made' and rejecting its findings on food security conditions in the enclave. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report claims that over 60% of Gaza's population is facing famine-like conditions due to food insecurity. Israel disputes these claims, saying they are inaccurate and based on flawed methodology. The response comes as the international community continues to grapple with the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
