Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed a report by a global hunger monitor that confirms famine in parts of the Gaza Strip, calling it an ‘outright lie.’ The report, which marks the first confirmation of famine in the region, has drawn attention from international figures, including the UN rights chief, who has warned that the situation in Gaza could constitute a war crime. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, the international community is under pressure to address the growing concerns over the conditions in the territory.
