One in three children under the age of two in northern Gaza is now acutely malnourished, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa).
"Children's malnutrition is spreading fast and reaching unprecedented levels in Gaza. Famine is looming. There is no time to waste," Unrwa said in a social media post on Saturday.
In recent days, several children have died in Gaza of malnutrition and dehydration.
