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”.

Gaza is facing a severe food crisis, with more than 100 humanitarian aid agencies warning that the population is on the brink of starvation.
