U.N. Warns 1 Million Gazans Could Face Deadly Starvation by Mid-July
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news from Gaza, the U.N. food agency has issued a dire warning,
stating, "Over one million people - half the population of Gaza - are
expected to face death and starvation by mid-July" if Israel's war on
Gaza does not end. The warning comes in a new report on global hunger
that also says the risk of starvation persists in Sudan, Haiti, Mali and
South Sudan. Meanwhile, UNICEF says 90% of children in Gaza lack the
nutrition needed for proper growth.
