Israel rejected the findings of a UN-backed food security report on Friday, insisting there was no famine in Gaza and the findings were based on “Hamas lies”. The foreign ministry statement came after the Rome-based IPC panel said famine was now confirmed in the Gaza Governorate-Gaza city-which covers about 20 per cent of the Gaza Strip. “There is no famine in Gaza,” the ministry said. The panel’s findings were “based on Hamas lies laundered through organisations with vested interests”, it added.
