The American organization Famine Early Warning Systems Network (Fews Net) has withdrawn its report warning of an impending famine in Northern Gaza due to a blockade by Israel. The report stated that without immediate food assistance, daily deaths from hunger could range from two to fifteen. The withdrawal follows criticism from U.S. officials regarding the report’s use of outdated data, while humanitarian organizations express concern over the situation in the region. Fews Net plans to revise and reissue the report in January.
