Famine is looming in north Gaza where over 200,000 Palestinian children have shown symptoms of malnutrition, according to the director of Kamal Adwan hospital. 

Speaking to Al-Arabi TV, Dr Hossam Abo Safiya said northern Gaza is now facing a "humanitarian disaster".

"I am sending a distress call to all international institutions to take the threat of famine seriously."
