Months of warnings have fallen on deaf ears.
Famine is now confirmed in Gaza City.
This is starvation by design and manmade by the Government of Israel.
It is the direct result of banning food and other basic supplies for months including from UNRWA.
The spread of famine can still be controlled by a ceasefire, allowing humanitarian organisations to do their work and reach starving people with aid.
Time for political will!
