The group of agencies have released the report in conjunction with a US deadline for evidence that Israel has taken action to avoid famine.

83% of the food aid needed does not reach Gaza. This shortage means people have gone from two meals a day to just one meal every other day.
In August, more than 1 million people in southern and central Gaza did not receive any food rations at all.
Over 60% of homes have been destroyed or damaged. 1.87 million people need shelter. But tents to shelter just 25,000 people is all that has arrived in Gaza since May.
Only 17 out of 36 hospitals are some-what functional. 65% of the needed insulin and half of the blood supply are missing in Gaza. Health services are collapsing.
Critical infrastructure such as water, sanitation, and bread mills have been destroyed.
Availability of hygiene items has dropped to 15% of what was available in September last year. One million women now lack basic hygiene products.
Meanwhile, only 69 aid trucks per day entered Gaza in August, down from an average of 500 last year – already far below what’s needed.
This cannot go on.
