financialexpress.com/world-news/282-million-people-faced-acute-hunger-in-2023-with-the-worst-famine-in-gaza-un-report/3468067/
Quick Glance: Over 280 Million People Worldwide Affected by Severe Hunger
- Nearly 282 million individuals across various countries faced acute hunger in 2023, with the war-torn Gaza Strip having the highest number of people experiencing famine.
- The United Nations report revealed that 24 million more people were dealing with acute food shortages compared to 2022, primarily due to a significant decline in food security, especially in Gaza and Sudan.
- Of those on the brink of famine - 577,000 individuals - over 80% were located in Gaza, while numerous others in nations like South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Somalia, and Mali were also enduring extreme hunger.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres labeled the report as 'a reckoning of human failure' and emphasized the need for an urgent response to address the root causes of acute hunger and malnutrition, as well as overhaul food supply systems.

Quick Glance: US Fails Resolution for Immediate Cease-Fire in Gaza
- A U.S. effort to increase political pressure on Israel failed in the UN Security Council as Russia and China vetoed it.
- The resolution emphasized concerns about a ground offensive in Rafah and criticized the humanitarian toll of Israel's offensive.
- However, the resolution linked a cease-fire to the release of hostages in Gaza, a stance supported by Israel.
- US officials aim to persuade Israel for an alternative approach in Rafah to minimize civilian casualties, as a summit in Washington is planned.

Quick Glance: US Congressional Leaders Propose Spending Bill to Cut UNRWA Funding
- A new bill with support from Biden and bipartisan agreement aims to prevent a government shutdown and prohibit funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
- The proposed spending bill from Congressional leaders in the US would avert a government shutdown but ban funding for the UNRWA.
- The US has been UNRWA’s largest donor, and a ban would almost certainly lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
- De-funding of UNRWA has been paused by some Western countries, led by the US, despite UNRWA denying allegations of having ties to Hamas.
