Saudi Arabia Voices Deep Concern over IPC Famine Declaration in Gaza

Riyadh, August 22, 2025, SPA -- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s deep concern following the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report and the official declaration of famine in the Gaza Strip, condemning the genocide crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against defenseless civilians.
In a statement, the ministry said: "The Kingdom affirms that the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is a direct result of the absence of deterrence and accountability mechanisms for the repeated crimes committed by the Israeli occupation. This will remain a stain on the moral standing of the international community, particularly the permanent members of the UN Security Council, unless immediate action is taken to end the famine and stop the genocide and crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against the brotherly Palestinian people."
