Around 210,000 people in northern Gaza are struggling to get enough food, said The World Food Programme.

The UN food agency says “famine is imminent” in northern Gaza, where an estimated 70% of the population faces catastrophic hunger.

Israel says it places no limits on the import of humanitarian aid and blames bottlenecks on the UN agencies distributing it. The army last raided Shifa Hospital in November after claiming that Hamas maintained an elaborate command centre within and beneath the facility.
