About 1.4 million people in six regions were at the Catastrophe level (IPC Phase 5), and over 39 million in 32 countries were at the Emergency level (IPC Phase 4). Famine was confirmed in the Gaza Strip and Sudan. Conflict, weather extremes and economic shocks were the main drivers. Around 35.5 million children and 9.2 million women faced malnutrition.
