The United Nations has called on the international community to “flood” Gaza with aid amid reports that children are dying of starvation in the war-torn Palestinian territory. “With children starting … to die from starvation, that should be an alarm like no other,” Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN humanitarian agency, told reporters in Geneva. “If not now, when is the time to pull the stops, break the glass and flood Gaza with the aid that it needs?” Laerke asked.
