The World Health Organization (WHO) chief has called for more aid to enter Gaza, amid reports of children dying from malnutrition in the besieged enclave.

• “Children who survived bombardment but may not survive a famine,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X. “Allow more aid for Gaza. Ceasefire.”

Gaza’s Health Ministry said earlier that 18 people have been confirmed to have died from starvation.
