The hungriest place on Earth — that’s how the United Nations has described Gaza. Months of a total Israeli blockade — on top of severely reduced aid supplies — have left 2.3 million Palestinians facing famine. Hundreds of deaths have been reported due to shortages of food, water and medicine. Tonnes of aid are waiting at the border, but the UN says only a trickle is being allowed through. So, is Israel using starvation as a weapon of war? And what effects will famine and hunger have on Palestinians — especially children — in years to come?
