Palestinian officials warn of impending famine in northern Gaza 

Israeli forces are imposing a policy of starvation in the northern Gaza Strip that could soon lead to famine, the government media office in Gaza has warned. 

It said aid convoys intended for the war-ravaged areas continue to be blocked by the Israeli army, alleging this is part of a deliberate policy. 

"We sound the alarm once again about the Israeli occupation army's focus on causing a real famine in Gaza City and North Gaza governorates, intentionally and deliberately," the office said, adding that 1,300 food trucks are needed daily to prevent a catastrophe impacting hundreds of thousands of people.
