Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
I'm Celia Hatton and I'm coming to you live from London.
Famine, the extreme scarcity of food.
It's a prospect we encounter from time to time on NewsHour in war-torn Yemen and recently in Sudan.
And now it's a very real prospect for Gaza.
Five hundred trucks of aid used to enter the enclave every day.
Then, for almost three months, Israel completely stopped it.
In the last day, a trickle of aid has gone in.
It's been described as a drop in the ocean by the United Nations.
In a moment, we're going to hear from the UN's humanitarian chief.
He's told the BBC that 14,000 babies could die in the enclave in the next 48 hours
if more aid doesn't reach them.
Just moments ago,
the British Foreign Secretary has announced the UK is pausing a free trade agreement negotiations with Israel.
Speaking in the House of Commons,
David Lamy said the actions by Benjamin Netanyahu's government made the steps necessary.

I was leaving the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza when I saw the sky suddenly light up with this thick...
white smoke.
