  • The world's leading experts on food insecurity have confirmed that famine now exists in northern Gaza.

  • The expert panel says more than half a million Palestinians are at risk of dying from starvation.

  • Hundreds of thousands more Palestinians face catastrophic food shortages.

  • Israel significantly restricted aid supplies into Gaza last March,

  • including relief aid from the U.N.

  • Tom Fletcher is the Undersecretary General with the UN's Office on Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief.

  • Be in no doubt that this is irrefutable testimony.

  • It is a famine, the Gaza famine.

  • It is a famine that we could have prevented if we had been allowed.

  • Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.

  • Israel says there is no famine.

  • Israeli officials say the expert report uses unreliable sources and only helps Hamas's fake campaign.
