The United Nations officially declared a famine in Gaza on Friday, blaming “systematic obstruction of aid” by Israel, hours after Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened to destroy the territory’s largest city.

For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the harrowing plight of civilians in war-torn Gaza, FRANCE 24’s William Hilderbrandt welcomes Shaina Low, Communication Adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
