'Mounting evidence of widespread starvation' in Gaza, IPC says, as
Israel warned over aid access
------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary

* 'The worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the 
Gaza Strip,' an alert from a UN-backed food security body says

* The IPC says 'mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, 
malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths'

* It comes as Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says 60,000 Palestinians 
have been killed in the enclave since Israel's offensive began

* Aid agencies warn Israel's measures to increase aid supplies to Gaza 
aren't enough - Israel insists there are no restrictions on aid 
deliveries and that there is 'no starvation'

* Some people in Gaza say they have not eaten in two days, accusing 
armed gangs of looting incoming aid trucks and selling the contents on 
the black market at high prices, Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abualouf 
writes

* Israel does not allow international news organisations, including the 
BBC, into Gaza to report freely on the situation there

* Later UK PM Keir Starmer will hold an emergency cabinet meeting on 
Gaza, as pressure mounts on him to immediately recognise Palestinian 
statehood
