The UN agency for Palestinian Refugees, UNRWA, says that “children in Gaza are dying from starvation and bombardments”, Al Jazeera reports.

“Entire families, neighbourhoods, and a generation are being wiped out,” UNRWA added in a post on social media.

“Inaction and silence are complicity. It’s time for statements to turn into action and for an immediate ceasefire,” the UN agency added.

At least 217 people have died from starvation in the Gaza Strip, as Israel’s punishing siege continues.
