The UN Security Council issued a joint statement on Wednesday (August 27) in which all the members of the council, except the US, stood by the IPC and its work. IPC, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system, is a famine monitoring mechanism supported by non-profits and UN agencies. This came while Israel called the system to retract its findings on the strip.
The statement said the famine in Gaza was a “manmade crisis” and warned that the use of starvation as a weapon of war is banned under international humanitarian law. Meanwhile, Save the Children's chief, Inger Ashing, accused world powers of complicity through inaction.
“The Gaza famine is here. An engineered famine. A man-made famine,” she said. “Children in Gaza are systematically being starved to death. This is starvation as a method of war in its starkest terms," she added.
Meanwhile, the top US envoy at the United Nations lamented Security Council inaction on resolving the conflict in Gaza. Addressing the Council meeting on the Middle East and the Palestinian question, Dorothy Shea blamed Hamas for renewed fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli ambassador to the UN calls IPC's famine report 'fabricated'
After this, Israel's representative to the United Nations Danny Danon called the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report of famine in Gaza a 'fabricated' report for changing its normal standards.

NGO tells UN Security Council starving Gaza children too weak to cry
Ashing also added that children in Gaza are so weak they do not even cry. "They lie there, emaciated, quite literally wasting away," she tells a UN Security Council meeting.
The UN-backed hunger monitor, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative (IPC), declared a famine in Gaza on Friday, sparking demands from Israel to retract the report.
