That's how the head of the World Health Organisation describes what is happening to thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza who have been diagnosed with malnutrition.
The WHO also warns of an escalating health crisis in the West Bank, where attacks on healthcare and restrictions on movement of people are obstructing access to health services."Despite reports of increased delivery of food, there is currently no evidence that those who need it most are receiving sufficient quantity and quality of food. WHO and our partners have scaled up nutrition services.
The reports comes as relatives of Israeli hostages and other demonstrators continue to gather in Tel Aviv demanding the Israeli government accept a deal to release those taken by Hamas on October 7."We have the same deal on the table since, I guess, the beginning, at least for a few months the same deal, the same terms. Mr Netanyahu must get, to be, to gain some courage and to insist that he is going to retrieve all the hostages, every one of them. All the 120 hostages.
The release of report into war crimes on both sides comes as diplomats continue to call for the latest ceasefire deal to be implemented. The deal, as outlined by US President Joe Biden, sets out conditions for a "full and complete ceasefire", the release of hostages held by Hamas, the return of dead hostages' remains and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners.
