Nice post wallace. Lets see what Bone has to say about that.
He posted the link to the 56-page report but I doubt he read it. You would need at least a whole day of study.

IPC Famine Review Committee.
p24
For the northern governorates, the FRC finds the projected
analysis conclusions plausible (IPC Phase
4, Emergency Acute Food Insecurity) for the scenario
and assumptions set by the analysis team. However,
given the unpredictability of the ongoing conflict and
humanitarian access challenges, any significant change
may lead to a very rapid deterioration into Famine. The
FRC finds the risk of Famine to be plausible based on
the assumptions set by the analysis team. A high risk
of Famine persists as long as conflict continues, and
humanitarian access is restricted. The speed of deterioration
observed in previous months, compounded by
the increased vulnerability of the population after more
than eight months of inadequate dietary intake, WASH
and health conditions, increase the probability that Famine could occur during the projection period.
p25
A high and sustained risk of Famine persists across the
whole of the Gaza Strip as long as conflict continues,
and humanitarian access is restricted. The speed of
deterioration observed in previous months, compounded
by the increased vulnerability of the population after
more than eight months of inadequate dietary intake,
WASH and health conditions, increase the probability
that Famine could occur at any time during the projection period.
