Famine looms in the north of the Gaza Strip, says report

BBC World Service - Newsday, Famine looms in the north of the Gaza Strip, says report

More than a million Gazans are now experiencing the highest level of food insecurity

More than a million Gazans are now experiencing catastrophic hunger - the highest level of food insecurity - a number that has doubled in just three months.

Humanitarian groups have warned of famine coming to Gaza as continued fighting and limited aid supplies mean that people are facing real hunger in the coming weeks - we speak to the World Food programme.

Another place with a looming humanitarian crisis is Haiti where an air link has now opened with neighbouring Dominican Republic; the UN says the first helicopter flights have begun - we get an update from the capital.

And in Japan the central bank has raised the cost of borrowing for the first time in 17 years, ending its policy of negative interest rates.
