US Rejects UN-Backed Report’s Finding of Famine in Gaza Strip

The US has rejected a UN-backed report that found a famine in the Gaza Strip, disagreeing with the report's conclusion that Israel's actions amounted to a "policy of starvation" during the ongoing conflict with Hamas. The report, produced by a UN-affiliated agency, had determined that the Gaza Strip was experiencing a famine, with a significant portion of the population facing severe food insecurity. However, the US, which is a member of the UN Security Council, has broken ranks with other council members by disputing the report's findings and rejecting the notion that Israel is engaged in a deliberate policy of starvation in the enclave. The divergent positions highlight the continued tensions and differing perspectives on the complex humanitarian situation in Gaza, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to have a significant impact on the civilian population.
