9:26Now PlayingFamine has been declared in Gaza City for the first time by the international body responsible for monitoring world hunger.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has stated that famine is taking place in the “Gaza Governorate”.
The area includes Gaza City, which is home to around 500,000 people, surrounding towns and various refugee camps.
Rejecting the findings of the UN-backed reports, Israel refuted existence of a famine in Gaza and claimed it was "Hamas lies". It has also said Gaza will be destroyed if Hamas does not agree to disarm and release all hostages.
In response Jan Egeland, secretary council of the Norwegian Refugee Council, disputed Israel's famine denial and said it had been "lying" about the situation in Gaza.
"It's the global authority on famine that is declared this now in Gaza. It is the truth, as it has also been verified by British and other Aid workers and doctors inside Gaza," he said.
Matt Frei is joined by ActionAid Palestine's Riham Jafari, who outlines the situation in Gaza.
