how much of gaza is experiencing famine right now? so everyone can guys that he's hungry, we have seen that for months now. so this is a, this is not truly use to chase. and when our teams were going to reach hospitals, people were stopped. think i would trucks hoping that there would be some forwarding. but when we get to the hospital is patients 1st task before asking for full medicines. so this is, this has to be ongoing. now what's, what this reports and this analysis has shown is really the 3rd that the, this, this is not really the breaking point. so children are dying from, from starvation. the analysis showed up well of household basically escaping meals. that to the, to the entire households go without any food for days and nights, especially in the north of the country. and that the one out of 3 children in north of guys that age on the 2 piece, a goodly modelers. and yesterday we have to use a visa thing to hospitals in the north end. and health workers were saying that to the i c sharp rising mom latricia with, with this 6

the only way to address the famine. address the catastrophic hunger is to bring in huge amounts of food assistance today, tomorrow and everyday for the next many few months. we need the minimum of 300 trucks going into gaza every day, and especially the no. food supplies that are ready to be deployed, and given the right conditions we can scale up to feed all the 2.2 million people across gaza. at least what a month or two months. we need more entry points into gaza, including one into the north. we need the crossing point to allow food aid to go in. we need to be able to use the roads so they are made available for daily convoys and save access to the north. road access is a priority. there's nothing that can replace the efficiency, and actually the safety, and having an organised delivery overland. all other attempts are going to be a drop in the ocean. what else can be done? we are talking aboutjust basic food supplies now. what do people have access to at the moment? nothing. the have access to at the moment? nothin

the un has warned of a looming famine.any met yesterday, the need to help starving civilians in gaza was high on the agenda. much more humanitarian aid is needed, continuously and reliably. i shared my concerns with the prime minister that the provision of aid from israel into gaza and the conditions for distribution must be urgently and massively improved. talks on a humanitarian ceasefire in gaza are due to resume today. in qatar, mediators will again try to negotiate a deal that both israel and hamas can agree to, but against that backdrop, a military ground offensive in gaza's southern city of rafah is still looming. half the population has been displaced to there, and there is strong pressure on israel to protect them. our goal in eliminating the remaining terrorist battalions in rafah goes hand—in—hand with enabling the civilian population to leave rafah. it's not something that we will do while keeping the population locked in place. in fact, we will do the very opposite. it's hard to predict which will come first —

this famine is not a natural disaster, it's not a flood, it's not an earthquake. man—made. by whom? by whom? anyone that prevents humanitarian support entering gaza. the lack of access, by the acute insecurity inside gaza, insecurity in itself prevents the distribution of help, but the problem is hundreds of trucks are waiting on the border, and the ones who control the border prevent them from coming into, iam who control the border prevent them from coming into, i am coming from washington and i dare to say, yes, israel is provoking famine. the israeli military says it is taking control of the al shifa hospital and what it called an operation to "forte terrorist activity". the hospital is in gaza city in the north of the strip. the israeli military said troops came under fire and that 80 people were detained and others killed, including a senior commander of hamas's internal security service. these are images from the raid — you can hear gunshots. witnesses described heavy exchanges of fire around the site, where thousands of displaced people are sheltering, whe

the entire population of gaza will be in famine by july 2024. u.n.ad the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity that the ipc initiative has ever classified for any given area or country. next, let's hear from jeremy bowen, who has been looking at cases of starvation inside gaza. jeremy: gaza is no place to be ill. someone had lung and liver problems before the war. after months of starvation and without the right medical care, she is deteriorating fast. my daughter can't move, says her mother. she is anemic, almost -- always sleeping, and there is nothing nutritious to eat. the evidence of gaza's humanitarian catastrophe is overwhelming and is deepening international pressure on israel. dermatitis is a classic symptom of acute malnutrition. these children reach hospital. most of just over one million gazans considered to be in acute need will not have that option. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. maryam: there is aid ready to be delivered in these lorries that are backed up on the egyptian side of the border, what they

many aid workers say famine is already underway in gaza, including leading famine expert, alex duvalle the most intense famine since world war i. caused by drought, or failure of crop. experts warned that israel plans for a ground offensive in the southern city of rafah, which could hasten the arrival of the famine. recent media coverage is focused on proposals like floating piers, airdropped, and workers see these headlines overshadow the unfolding crisis on the ground and warned that the efforts will not avert famine without an immediate end to the war and a massive influx of eight. let's talk about that aid. 500 trucks per day are needed to avert famine, but an average of fewer than 200 trucks are actually getting through. some days, no trucks are getting through. despite desperate pleas from eight workers, israel has refused to open more land crossings. meanwhile, the death toll in gaza has surpassed 32,000, and no signs that the bloodshed will end anytime soon.friday, both russia and china vetoed an american backed united nations resolution that called for an immediate cease-fire
