US says “policy of starvation” in Gaza would be “horrific and unacceptable” | BBC News
The US ambassador to the United Nations has said that Washington is “watching Israel’s actions on the ground” in northern Gaza to make sure it is not following “a policy of starvation there”.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield said such a policy “would not just be horrific and unacceptable” but would also have “implications under international and US law”.
It follows widespread claims that the Israeli military is deliberately blocking aid deliveries to much of northern Gaza. Israel denies the accusation. The UN’s World Food Programme says a million people there are at risk of going hungry.
Israel is preventing journalists from having independent access to Gaza. Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Fergal Keane in Jerusalem.

A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida on Thursday night.
The space technology company, which was founded in 2000 by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, said there were no injuries from the incident.
“All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more,” Blue Origin said in a statement.
The explosion occurred during a “hotfire test”, the company said, describing the incident as an “anomaly”.

The US has said it struck Iranian military sites over the weekend while Tehran said it responded by targeting an American base, marking the third known escalations in a week around the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said it launched “self-defence strikes” in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, which it said included a US drone being shot down over international waters.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted an air base used by US forces for an attack on southern Iran.
Kuwait said its air defence system had confronted “hostile” missiles and drones – with its foreign ministry later condemning “heinous and repeated Iranian attacks”.
Meanwhile, Israel’s prime minister has ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, as the conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah continues to escalate.
A senior Lebanese government official told the BBC that it was relying on US mediation efforts to pressure Israel to end its own violations and prevent further civilian casualties.
