Almost half a million people are still experiencing "catastrophic" hunger in Gaza, a United Nations-backed assessment found on Tuesday.
Warnings from March of imminent famine in the north of the Palestinian territory have not come to pass, but the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) partnership said 495,000 people -- around 22 percent of the Gaza population, according to the UN -- are still facing "catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity".
