The IPC acute food insecurity analysis conducted in December 2023 warned of a risk that Famine may occur by the end of
May 2024 if an immediate cessation of hostilities and sustained access for the provision of essential supplies and services
to the population did not take place. Since then, the conditions necessary to prevent famine have not been met and
the latest evidence confirms that Famine is imminent in the northern governorates and projected to occur anytime
between mid-March and May 2024.
