Children in Gaza are already starving, with UNICEF warning more aid is urgently needed. But amid calls for the Israeli prime minister to stand down - including from top US politicians and Israeli protesters - Benjamin Netanyahu is pressing on with plans to invade Rafah by ground.

"We haven't seen that rate of death among children in almost any other conflict in the world, it's really shocking. Thousands more have been injured or we can't even determine where they are. They may be stuck under rubble. Thousands more have lost one or both parents. Some of these children, you've seen them on the news, they're just by themselves managing their younger siblings: it's a horrifying situation.

"I've been in wards of children who are suffering from severe anaemic malnutrition, the whole ward is absolutely quiet. Because the children, the babies, don't even have the energy to cry." Earlier this month a group of UN experts accused Israel of "intentionally starving" the Palestinian population, as well as targeting humanitarian convoys and civilians seeking aid.According to UNICEF, nine out of 10 people don't have enough food to survive, and 81 per cent of households don't have access to enough clean water.She made the comments in Egypt, during talks with the country's president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi.

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranked Jewish official in the country, recently called for an election in Israel, claiming Mr Netanyahu had lost his way. Hamas took around 240 hostages, including children, during the October 7 attacks on Israel, with around 120 later freed during a temporary ceasefire in November.But families are still fighting to have the remaining hostages freed, and many protesters say the government is not making it a priority."We're here to protest this government that hasn't been acting for the majority of people in Israel for a while now, especially since the beginning of the war.
