A senior UN official said that northern Gaza was now in a “full-blown famine” after more than six months of war between Israel and Hamas and severe Israeli restrictions on food deliveries. Cindy McCain, the American director of the UN World Food Programme, became the most high-profile international official so far to declare that trapped civilians in the most cut-off part of Gaza had gone over the brink into famine. “It’s horror,” Ms McCain told NBC’s Meet the Press in an interview adding “There is famine — full-blown famine — in the north, and it’s moving its way south.”
