7:18Now PlayingA doctor from the US who has just returned from Gaza said the level of starvation is “catastrophic”.
Mark Brauner added young children "become delirious, they have hallucinations... they essentially become almost like zombies".
Palestinians in Gaza are fearing more destruction and displacement, after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to take over Gaza City was approved by his security cabinet.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that since 27 July, when Israel resumed allowing air drops, more than 1,000 aid packages have been air dropped in Gaza by nine different countries.
The military added that it rejects what it calls "false claims of deliberate starvation in Gaza".
Humanitarian agencies have warned that air drops are not enough to help, and the packages often land far from the people who need them.
