The hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip has soared “alarmingly,” health workers have warned, with a growing number of children dying of malnutrition.

The UK and 27 other countries have called for an immediate end to the war in Gaza, where they say the suffering of civilians has "reached new depths". A joint statement says Israel's aid delivery model is dangerous and condemns what it calls the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians" seeking food and water.
