00:00This is starvation as a method of war in its darkest terms.
00:07The children's clinics in Gaza are overwhelmed by need.
00:11Every bench packed with malnourished children and their mothers.
00:15Yet our clinics are almost silent now.
00:18Children do not have the strength to speak or even cry out in agony.
00:24They lie there, emaciated, quite literally wasting away.
00:29They're tiny bodies overcome by hunger and disease.
