People in Gaza subjected to forced starvation, says top UN official | BBC News

Tom Fletcher, the UN's humanitarian chief, said that people in Gaza are being subjected to forced starvation by Israel, a claim that he believes has changed the international response to the conflict. Israel recently resumed the military offensive that ended a two‑month ceasefire with Hamas, though it has also begun allowing limited aid into Gaza after a nearly three‑month blockade that had halted supplies. The Israeli government says these steps aim to pressure Hamas to release the 58 hostages held in Gaza.
