Gaza is currently the only defined territory where the entire population is at risk of famine, according to Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). "It is the most hunger-stricken area on the planet," he said. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron warned, “If the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve immediately, European nations must take a stronger stance against Israel.” He added, “We must act within the next few hours or days and consider sanctions.” The US has also renewed its call for a ceasefire.
