    Martin Griffiths, the UN’s top emergency relief official, warned last Friday that famine was “around the corner” as people in Gaza face the “highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded.”

    A public health disaster is unfolding as sewers spill over and infectious diseases spread in overcrowded shelters, Griffiths said in the report, released by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
