In the face of overwhelming and unequivocal evidence, even the IPC had to admit that there is no famine in Gaza. Yet the IPC’s report is once again deliberately distorted and doesn’t reflect the reality in the Gaza Strip. It ignores the vast volume of aid entering the Strip because it relies primarily on data related to UN trucks, which account for only 20% of all aid trucks. 

The IPC also disregards the fact that, on average, between 600 and 800 aid trucks enter the Gaza Strip every day, 70% of them carrying food – nearly five times more than what the IPC itself said was required for the Strip. 

Just last week, the US Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) reported that more than 30,000 (!) aid trucks have entered the Gaza Strip since the beginning of CMCC activity, yet these facts are of course missing from the IPC report. 

These enormous quantities of aid are reflected in the reality on the ground: between July and November alone, food prices in the Strip fell by more than 80%.
