00:00While Israel is allowing some aid into Gaza, the United Nations Human Rights Office says it's not enough to prevent widespread starvation.
00:09Young officials blame Israel's restrictions on humanitarian supplies as the main cause, with Gaza authorities reporting three more Palestinian deaths from malnutrition.
00:20Amnesty International yesterday accused Israel of enacting a deliberate policy of starvation.
00:25So far, more than 250 Palestinians, including 110 children, have died of hunger during the blockade.
00:32Last week, Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan and several European allies urged Israel to allow unrestricted aid, calling the humanitarian crisis unimaginable.
00:42Some countries have resorted to aid drops, but critics warn these can be ineffective and dangerous, sometimes killing or injuring civilians.
