One in five children in Gaza City is malnourished, says UN aid agency

 
The UN's Palestinian refugee agency says one in five children in Gaza City is malnourished and cases are increasing every day.
 
Unrwa Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said a colleague told him: "People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses."
 
More than 100 international aid organisations and human rights groups have also warned of mass starvation - pressing for governments to take action.
 
Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies into Gaza, says there is no siege and blames Hamas for any cases of malnutrition.
