Israel’s aggression is pushing Gaza into famine and a staggering 90 per cent of the people there are on the brink of starvation, UK-based anti-poverty organisation Oxfam warned, Anadolu Agency reports.

“While over 90pc of people in Gaza cannot find their next meal, some UN Security Council member states are still toying with words rather than voting for a ceasefire,” said Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam’s Middle East and North Africa regional director.

“Gaza’s shocking descent into starvation was so predictable as to be premeditated, an ongoing war crime by the Government of Israel,” Khalil was quoted as saying in the Oxfam statement.
