A UN-backed body has confirmed there is famine in Gaza City. UN chief Antonio Gutteres has described it as a "failure of humanity" and "a man-made disaster".

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification or IPC identifies hunger levels around the world. It says more than half a million people across Gaza are facing "catastrophic" conditions.

The report has been labelled an "outright lie" by Israel.
