Warnings of famine in northern Gaza | BBC News

Doctors have told the BBC that malnutrition and severe dehydration has affected dozens of Gazan’s who have struggled to receive food supplies.

At the beginning of June, the UN’s children’s agency, Unicef, reported that nine out of 10 children in Gaza were experiencing severe food poverty, surviving on two or fewer food groups per day.

It said that “months of hostilities and restrictions on humanitarian aid have collapsed the food and health systems, resulting in catastrophic consequences” and that children were “at risk of life-threatening malnutrition".
