"Each with a name, each with a story. That strips people of dignity before it strips them of life. That forces people to risk their lives to seek food. It is a famine that we repeatedly warned of. But that the international media has not been allowed in to cover."
Remarks by Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, on famine in Gaza | United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - Occupied Palestinian Territory
[As delivered]
Please read the IPC report, cover to cover. Read it in sorrow and in anger. Not as words and numbers but as names and lives. Be in no doubt that this is irrefutable testimony.
It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.
