Israel to allow air drops of aid, as Gazans die of starvation
At least 5 more people have died of malnutrition in the last day, bringing the total to 127 since the war began
Israel says it will allow aid drops into Gaza by air, saying Jordan and the United Arab Emirates could facilitate. This comes as at least 5 people are reported to have died from malnutrition in the last day, bringing the total to 127 since the beginning of the war. Also on the programme, Iran is tackling a severe water crisis; and, one of Lebanon's most celebrated composers, Ziad Rahbani, has died.
