Gaza faces 'man-made mass starvation’, says WHO chief | BBC News

Gaza is suffering mass starvation caused by an Israeli blockade on aid, according to WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. A quarter of Gaza’s population faces famine‑like conditions, and almost 100,000 women and children suffer from severe acute malnutrition and need treatment as soon as possible. The IDF’s logistics branch, Cogat, released a statement on Thursday insisting it is continuing to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
