Seven more people, including children, have died from malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, raising the total to 154 since 2023. UN-backed experts say famine is "currently playing out" in Gaza. Aid remains critically short, with only 109 trucks entering Tuesday—many looted. Six Palestinians were reportedly killed near an aid site in Rafah, but the IDF disputes this. Israel blames Hamas for the crisis, while the UK’s pledge to recognise Palestine by September triggered backlash from Israel. US envoy Steve Witkoff will visit Israel this week to discuss the escalating crisis. (PC: BBC)
