New UN FRC/IPC report ECR edit req
[edit]The latest IPC/FRC report is now partially released (its summary) and updates the # facing catastrophic hunger to 133,000. This should be changed from 495,000 in info box which was based on the same source (also "near-famine hunger" is not a thing - catastrophic hunger IS the term for "famine-level hunger" when it's measured by food insecurity surveys of individual families instead of population measures like malnutrition and mortality rates (which are substantially below famine thresholds)). Also this new report should probably be discussed when fully released but that's outside scope of this extended confirmed protect edit request. Please note the source also gives a projected number for catastrophic hunger in November - next April, but the IPC itself seems to now only give the current number on its website's mobile version. Also because its last 3 projections were off by multiple fold (e.g. 495,000 was June's projection for the current period of this report), combined with the current number being written first in all their communciations, I think the current number (133,000) is most appropriate for info box (or can give both but note the latter is projection).

Page should be renamed
[edit]There is starvation in the Gaza Strip but famine is highly contested. The reported death toll is inconsistent with famine and the Famine Review Committee said it was not reasonable to assess there was famine.
That doesn't mean there isn't a humanitarian disaster; there is. But it is short of famine, which has a technical meaning. TazmanianTurnip (talk) 23:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Request update number of deaths in infobox
[edit]It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Gaza Strip famine. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |
In the "Gaza Genocide" article, the infobox entry for deaths due to starvation has been updated to 62,000, supported by sources that are already referenced in the "Gaza Famine" article ([344][345][346]). I propose updating the famine-related death count in the infobox of this article to reflect the same figure for consistency. 2001:9E8:994:4500:B5D5:F759:E581:21D0 (talk) 11:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
