Almost one in three people in Gaza are going days without eating, the UN's food aid programme has warned.

The World Food Programme says malnutrition is surging with 90,000 women and children in urgent need of treatment.

Warnings of starvation in Gaza have intensified this week with nine people dying bringing the total such deaths to 122.

Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies into Gaza, says there is no restriction on aid getting into the territory and blames Hamas for any malnutrition.
