Famine confirmed for first time in Gaza, journalist Shrouq Al-Aila speaks to France24

Gaza City is now officially facing famine, a crisis that the UN-backed global hunger monitor warns could spread across the entire Palestinian enclave - the first such declaration in Middle Eastern history. Speaking to France24, Gaza City journalist Shrouq Al-Aila says, “One of the reasons for this famine is that the Israeli army is preventing humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza on a daily basis.”
