In August, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) found that half a million people – about a quarter of Gaza's population – were living in areas suffering from famine.
Since a fragile ceasefire came into force in October, the UN and other humanitarian agencies have been able to increase food getting into Gaza.
Israel's foreign ministry said the report was "deliberately distorted" and "doesn't reflect the reality in the Gaza Strip".
