More than 100 charity and human rights groups say Israel’s blockade and ongoing military offensive are pushing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip toward starvation. Israeli strikes meanwhile killed another 21 people overnight and into Wednesday, according to local health officials.

Jerusalem/Cairo — Israel is reviewing a revised response from Hamas to a proposed ceasefire and hostage-release deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Thursday, as Israeli air and ground strikes continued to pound the Gaza Strip.

The aid agency says its buildings in the central part of the territory were attacked after the military targeted Deir al-Balah, which had largely been spared.

Israel launched an air and ground offensive into the only Gaza city that had not seen major military operations since the war began.

The head of the World Health Organisation has described the situation in Gaza as "manmade mass starvation". The Israeli government claims there's aid currently waiting for international organisations to distribute.

More than 100 aid agencies warned of mass starvation in Gaza and called for the immediate restoration of the "full flow" of humanitarian aid and a cease-fire.

After 21 months of devastating conflict with Israel, Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians are facing what aid groups say is impending famine.

Holding Israel responsible, 115 aid groups are warning of mass starvation in Gaza. as Israel blames Hamas for any food shortages.
