(NBC News) Some 41% of people in Gaza will face “catastrophic” levels of hunger in the coming months, a global authority on food security warned Thursday. The report emerged as Israel came under increasing pressure, including from its most important ally, the United States, to allow in more essential humanitarian aid. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, which sets a scale used by the United Nations and governments to assess hunger, said that there will be a persistent risk of famine in Gaza this winter unless more humanitarian aid reaches the Palestinian enclave. The release also said that nine in 10 Gazans—roughly two million people—face “acute food insecurity” in the months ahead. and came as Reuters reported that the Israeli government has stopped processing requests from traders to import food to Gaza.
Dennis Edwards: Lord, we cry out to You to intervene and stop the killings. Stop the war. Bring release from suffering for the poor and innocent. Jesus, You are able. Raise up the forces necessary for peace to be made. Lord, even if it's needful for the man of sin to arise in order to stop the horrors of war, do it, Lord. Jesus, the time has come. Show Your right hand. Defend those who have no defence but You. In Your mercy deliver the poor from the hands of their persecutors who ever they may be whether "friend" or foe. Stop the war, Lord, both in the Middle East and in Ukraine. Stop it, Lord. Bring peace. In Jesus' name we pray.
