European Foreign Minister: Israel is using hunger as a weapon of war in Gaza. At the opening of a conference on humanitarian aid to Gaza in Brussels, Joseph Burrell said that "in Gaza we are no longer on the brink of starvation, we are in a state of famine, which affects thousands of people" Israel denies that it is causing hunger in Gaza, and accuses Hamas of harming the supply of humanitarian aid.
Arab and Western countries have recently increased food airdrops in the Gaza Strip, but aid organizations warn that this is not enough.
