GAZA'S children are “at growing risk of starvation” due to Israeli attacks and its humanitarian blockade, the UN warned today, as its food agency said it had completely run out of food stocks.

Nearly all essential infrastructure that civilians depend on for survival has been destroyed, the UN’s Human Rights High Commissioner's Office said in a statement today.

It also warned that since the collapse of the Hamas-Israel ceasefire in March “and in the past week in particular, Israeli attacks on Palestinians have accelerated.”
