Martin Griffiths accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza as blockade on aid continues and more Palestinians starve to death

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says 33 people have died from malnutrition in the last 48 hours, including 12 children.

The foreign ministers of 25 Western nations have slammed Israel for “drip feeding” aid into the Gaza Strip, as the health ministry in the territory said that more than 1,000 people have been killed seeking humanitarian relief there since late May.

"Sadly, this act adds to the continuous military attacks against the civilian population and places of worship in Gaza."

The joint statement comes as Palestinians face worsening starvation, daily massacres at "aid sites" and the ongoing blockade of humanitarian assistance.
