Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside the United Nations headquarters in New York as aid groups warn of surging cases of starvation, particularly among children, in war-ravaged Gaza. Israel placed the Gaza Strip under an aid blockade in March, which it only partially eased two months later while sidelining the longstanding UN-led distribution system. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said that a quarter of the young children and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers it had screened at its clinics last week were malnourished, a day after the United Nations said one in five children in Gaza City were suffering from malnutrition.
