folded half the bread into half and told me I'll imagine this to be a manouche - thyme and olive oil sandwich. Her only wish at the time were for such a simple sandwich that she hadn't eaten for months.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said at least 30 children have died of hunger since July 17 and about 60 000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023.

More than half a million people are already estimated to be in what is known as a stage 5 catastrophe yet, the genocidal policy of mass starvation and killing people desperately seeking food in Gaza continues unabated.

"Starvation, malnutrition and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths," the IPC said, calling for an end to hostilities between Israel and Palestine.

This week, the IPC issued a Food Insecurity and Malnutrition Alert describing the crisis as "a disaster unfolding in front of our eyes."

The IPC of which the World Health Organization (WHO) is a member, issued one of its gravest alerts yet, saying "famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption in most of the Gaza Strip and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City."
