Despite outrage from its allies, the White House has not commented on a report that found famine in Gaza. Analysts say that without U.S. pressure, Israel’s war will not likely change course.

The UN-backed IPC has found that Gaza now faces famine after 22 months of Israel’s war on the Palestinian territory.

A UN-backed report warns that Gaza is facing a man-made famine affecting hundreds of thousands, while Israel prepares for a major offensive.

Israel has systematically obstructed food entering Gaza, aid agencies say, as a UN-backed body confirms a famine.

The UN-backed IPC says more than half a million Palestinians facing catastrophic famine conditions amid Israel’s war.

After a UN hunger monitor on Friday declared for the first time that famine had struck northern Gaza, Israel vehemently denied the reports as “lies” and “modern blood libel,” and the United States appeared to dismiss the declaration as part of a “false narrative of deliberate mass starvation” from Hamas.

A U.N.-backed food security group has issued a dire warning: famine has officially now taken hold in northern Gaza and is expected to spread in the coming months.
