Hospital officials in Gaza say Israeli strikes and gunfire have killed at least 33 Palestinians sheltering in tents or seeking scarce food aid.

David Lammy has condemned the famine in Gaza as “utterly horrifying” and a “man-made catastrophe” caused by Israel.

A report published Friday confirms a major food crisis, with more than 500,000 Gazans already facing famine. This situation is the result of prolonged periods of blockade. The Israeli government disputes these accusations and Benjamin Netanyahu dismisses them as antisemitic prejudice.

Thousands of pro-Palestine supporters gathered Friday outside the Israeli Embassy in London to draw attention to the genocide and famine in the Gaza Strip, where the Zionist regime have been brutally bombing the besieged enclave and imposing a blockade.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — The world’s leading authority on food crises said Friday the Gaza Strip’s largest city is gripped by famine, and that it is likely to spread across the territory without a ceasefire and an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid.

Israel says "there is no famine in Gaza" after the IPC reports more than 500,000 people in the Strip are facing "starvation, destitution and death".

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -Famine has struck an area of Gaza and will likely spread over the next month, a global hunger monitor determined on Friday, an assessment that will escalate pressure on Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into the war-torn Palestinian enclave.
