A 5-month-old Palestinian baby suffering from severe malnutrition died in her mother’s arms in Gaza Friday, one of the latest victims of a starvation crisis that has generated international outrage but continues to deepen.

In the face of global anger, Israel announces planned humanitarian pause in civilian centres to enable aid distribution.

Bob Geldof has hit out at the IDF and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, branding them liars over the current starvation crisis in Gaza.

Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, aid officials say, with hunger now reportedly affecting civilians as well as journalists, doctors, and other personnel on the ground.

The past few months have pushed Gaza to a new level of distress. The World Food Program, part of the United Nations, said this week that the crisis in Gaza had reached “astonishing levels of desperation, with a third of the population not eating for multiple days in a row.”

Yechiel Leiter, Israel's ambassador to the United States, joins "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and suggests the United Nations is responsible for aid not being distributed due to the NGO's desire to collaborate with Hamas,

“The Jewish People face a grave moral crisis,” an open letter signed by hundreds of rabbis says.

The United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy will hold an emergency call on Friday to talk about the deteriorating conditions in Gaza.
