This week more than 100 international aid organisations have warned of mass starvation in Gaza.
Médecins Sans Frontières says one-in-four children and pregnant women in their Gaza City facilities are malnourished and cases are increasing every day.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that France will recognise Palestine as a state, amid snowballing global anger over people starving.
Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies in to Gaza, says there is no siege and blames Hamas for any cases of malnutrition.
New Zealand also joined 24 other countries in issuing a joint statement saying the war "must end now".
The BBC's Middle East editor Sebastian Usher has the latest.
