Following a significant reduction in conflict, a proposed peace plan, and improved access for both humanitarian and commercial food deliveries, food security conditions have improved in the Gaza Strip. However, the situation remains critical.
Between 16 October and 30 November 2025, around 1.6 million people (77 percent of the population analysed) faced high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above). This includes more than half a million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and over 100,000 people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5).
During the projection period (1 December 2025 to 15 April 2026), the situation is expected to remain severe with around 1.6 million people still facing Crisis or worse (IPC Phase 3 or above) food insecurity. This includes 571,000 people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) conditions, and about 1,900 people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5), reflecting a reduction in the most extreme conditions.
