The World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus, said that Gaza is suffering man-made mass starvation caused by a blockade on aid.
He spoke following an appeal by more than 100 aid agencies warning of hunger in Gaza while tons of food, clean water and medical supplies sit untouched just outside the territory.
Gaza's food stocks have run out since Israel, at war with Palestinian group Hamas since October 2023, cut off all supplies to the territory in March and then lifted that blockade in May - but with restrictions that it says are needed to prevent aid from being diverted to groups.
As a result, international aid agencies say that only a trickle of what is needed is currently reaching people in Gaza.
Israel says it is committed to allowing in aid but must control it to prevent it from being diverted. It says it has let enough food into Gaza during the war and blames Hamas for the suffering of Gaza's 2.2 million people.
