UN says 100 percent of Palestinians in Gaza at risk of famine

The UN said on Friday that 100 percent of Gaza is at risk of famine. 

"Gaza is the hungriest place on Earth," Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the UN humanitarian agency United Nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs, said on Friday. 

"It's the only defined area - a country or defined territory within a country - where you have the entire population at risk of famine. 100 percent of the population at risk of famine," he said.
