World has responsibility to get aid into Gaza, UN official tells BBC


Gaza has been subjected to forced starvation by Israel, a top UN official has told the BBC.

Tom Fletcher told special correspondent Fergal Keane that the world has a responsibility to take greater action to get aid into Gaza and to “act to prevent genocide”.

Israel has claimed Hamas steals food aid and has accused the UN of refusing to cooperate with their military organised aid distribution centres.
