Evidence that Israel is using starvation as weapon of war in Gaza says UN | BBC News

Humanitarian agencies have long been calling for an immediate ceasefire and large deliveries of aid in Gaza, where a famine is looming.

Israel insists that it’s letting in all the humanitarian aid that is needed.
