Experts tell UN north Gaza famine is 'occurring or imminent'
Experts warned the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday that famine is "occurring or imminent" in parts of northern Gaza.
Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon rejected the famine warning as "simply false" and said Israel is making additional efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territory.
During the session, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield said there must be "no forcible displacement, nor policy of starvation in Gaza" by Israel, warning such policies would have implications under U.S. and international law.
The session was held shortly after the U.S. said it would not restrict military aid to Israel despite concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza after more than a year of war.
