The United Nations officially declared a famine in Gaza on Friday, blaming "systematic obstruction of aid" by Israel, hours after Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened to destroy the territory’s largest city. While Israel denied there was a famine, the Rome-based IPC, a body of UN-backed experts, said in a new report that famine was affecting 500,000 people in the Gaza governorate, which covers about a fifth of the Palestinian territory including Gaza City. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the harrowing plight of civilians in war-torn Gaza, FRANCE 24’s William Hilderbrandt welcomes Shaina Low, Communication Adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
