BBC World Service - Newshour, United Nations says half the people of Gaza are starving

The UN World Food Programme says half the Palestinians in Gaza are starving

The United Nations says half the people of Gaza are starving and nine out of ten can’t eat every day. We speak to Carl Skau from the UN World Food Programme. He says nothing could have prepared him for the 'fear, chaos and despair' he is witnessing in Gaza. We speak to a senior surgeon about the anguish of not being able to feed his own family.

Also in the programme: life for refugees in Rwanda as the British government grapples with legal challenges to its controversial scheme to deport asylum seekers there; and the UN declares that Italian opera will be added to its Cultural Heritage list.
