Israeli Spokesman Marmorstein: There is no famine in Gaza
Jerusalem, August 22 (Hibya) – Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein stated that the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report on Gaza is based on Hamas propaganda and that the criteria were altered.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Marmorstein made a statement regarding the IPC report on Gaza.
Marmorstein claimed that the report was prepared in line with Hamas’s “false campaign.”
He said that the IPC distorted its own rules in the report by making unfounded accusations against Israel, lowering the global threshold from 30% to 15% for this report, and ignoring the mortality rate criterion.
“There is no famine in Gaza,” said the spokesman, adding that since the beginning of the war more than 100,000 aid trucks have entered the region and that following the recent aid deliveries, food prices have dropped sharply.
Marmorstein stressed that all IPC forecasts regarding Gaza during the war had proven wrong, expressing his belief that the latest assessment would also end up “in the trash heap of political documents.”
