Gaza: Dying for Food

As the UK prepares to officially recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations, Panorama and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Eye investigate the desperate shortages of food in Gaza and the allegations of war crimes.

As the UK and others prepare to officially recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations, Panorama and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Eye investigate the desperate shortages of food in Gaza and the allegations of war crimes. With Israel on the verge of expanding its military campaign in the Gaza Strip and blaming Hamas for the shortages of food there, Jeremy Bowen, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s international editor, asks what all this means for the million or so Palestinians who now face being displaced from their homes in Gaza City and the prospect of having to flee again.

This documentary follows the stories of civilians on the ground, and medics and humanitarian organisations speak about the current situation. However, most international aid organisations find themselves sidelined, and in some cases, replaced by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. We investigate this new organisation and the claims that hundreds of civilians have been shot at or near its distribution sites while seeking food.
