People in Gaza subjected to forced starvation, says top UN official | BBC News

The UN's humanitarian chief has said people in Gaza are being subjected to forced starvation by Israel.

Tom Fletcher said he believed this had led to a change in the international response to Gaza, in an interview with the BBC.

Israel began to allow limited aid into Gaza last week, after an almost three-month blockade had halted the delivery of supplies. It also resumed its military offensive two weeks after imposing the blockade, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas.

Israel said the steps were intended to put pressure on the armed group to release the 58 hostages still held in Gaza.
