1827 GMT — The UN has warned that food insecurity in Gaza has reached an “extremely critical state,” given significant restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian assistance.

“Vulnerable segments of the population include children, the elderly, and people with underlying health conditions… are particularly susceptible to the risk of malnutrition,” he added.
