The United Nations has officially declared a state of famine in Gaza, highlighting a severe humanitarian crisis. In response, the Israeli government has strongly rejected the UN's assessment, accusing the report of being based on falsehoods propagated by Hamas. The Israeli Foreign Ministry dismissed the World Health Organization's findings as fabricated and part of Hamas' propaganda efforts, stating there is no famine in Gaza. Israel characterized the UN report as politically motivated and fraudulent, emphasizing its disagreement with the international body's evaluation of the situation in the Gaza Strip.
