UN to declare 'famine epidemic' in Gaza City

Itamar Eichner|
The international organization IPC, which operates on behalf of the UN and serves as the body defining famine situations, is expected to declare a famine "epidemic" in Gaza City tomorrow, ynet has learned. According to estimates, the declaration may serve as a basis for another round of condemnations against Israel. Jerusalem officials note that the decision was made after the criteria for defining a "famine situation" were mysteriously changed and warn that this is a clear political move designed to create international pressure on Israel.
