A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson condemned the UN’s Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, which highlights crisis-level food insecurity in Gaza worsening over time. The statement noted 1.2 million people face significant food shortages, with 90% of Gaza’s population confined to under 30% of the territory. The spokesperson called Israeli restrictions on aid and displacement ‘completely unacceptable,’ linking them to disease, water scarcity, and health service collapse. The UK reiterated support for humanitarian organizations and urged Israel to permit aid and commercial goods to enter Gaza at scale. The FCDO emphasized humanitarian aid must not be politicized, while stressing continued assistance to affected populations.
