Humanitarian aid agencies are warning that their staff inside Gaza are starving alongside the civilians they are trying to help

Holding Israel responsible, 115 aid groups are warning of mass starvation in Gaza. as Israel blames Hamas for any food shortages.

Almost one in three people in Gaza are going days without eating, the UN's food aid programme has warned. "Malnutrition is surging with 90,000 women and children in urgent need of treatment," the World Food Programme (WFP) said in a statement to news agency AFP.

Food markets are empty. Human waste is piling up. Illness is spreading. And people in Gaza are “collapsing on the streets from hunger and dehydration,” humanitarian organizations warn.

Amid warnings of “catastrophic” levels of starvation in Gaza – the UK, France and Germany have issued a joint statement calling for an end to the war and urging Israel to “immediately lift the restrictions on the flow of aid”. But Sir Keir Starmer said that recognising Palestinian statehood should be part of a wider ‘pathway’ to peace.
