Bangla Press Desk: Israel rejected the findings of a UN-backed food security report on Friday, insisting that there was no famine in Gaza and that the findings were based on "Hamas lies".
The foreign ministry statement came after the Rome-based IPC panel said famine was now confirmed in the Gaza Governorate -- Gaza City -- which covers about 20 percent of the Gaza Strip.
"There is no famine in Gaza," the ministry said, adding that the panel's findings were "based on Hamas lies laundered through organisations with vested interests".
"In recent weeks, a massive influx of aid has flooded the Strip with staple foods and caused a sharp decline in food price," the ministry said.
