Aid groups warn that ‘mass starvation’ is spreading in Gaza | BBC News

Description:

More than 100 aid agencies, including Save the Children and Médecins Sans Frontières, have warned that mass starvation is spreading across Gaza in a joint statement. "Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires, only to wake up to worsening conditions," the statement says. On Tuesday, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said that 33 people had died of malnutrition in 48 hours. Israel has acknowledged a significant drop in supplies reaching Gazans. But its officials say the food is there - and have blamed aid agencies for not getting it to Gazans. Subscribe here: For more news, analysis and features visit: #Israel #Gaza #BBCNews
