Bangla Press Desk: Famine has been confirmed in Gaza City and the surrounding area for the first time, according to a report by the UN-backed food security body Integrated Food Security Phase Classifications (IPC).
Half a million people in the territory are facing "starvation, destitution and death," reports the IPC, which expects the crisis to get worse in the coming weeks.
Gazan parents say their children are wasting away, teachers report students are light headed - and everyone is talking about soaring food prices.
UN Secretary General António Guterres calls it "a failure of humanity".
