WHO chief warns progress against famine remains 'extremely fragile' in Gaza

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Sunday that the progress against famine in Gaza remains "extremely fragile" after the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) reported that no areas in Gaza are currently classified as facing famine.

"This welcome progress remains extremely fragile as the population continues to struggle with massive infrastructure destruction, collapsed livelihoods and local food production, and restrictions to humanitarian operations," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on US social media platform X.
