Major UN-backed report confirms famine in Gaza City

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A major UN-backed report has confirmed that there is a famine in Gaza City and the surrounding area, calling the crisis ‘entirely man-made’. The report was labelled an "outright lie" by Israel. We speak to a doctor in one of the city’s last remaining hospitals, and former Foreign Secretary and President of the International Rescue Committee David Miliband. Also in the programme: How Sweden drastically reduced the number of asylum applications; and the Nobel Peace Prize winning Russian historian on opposition to Putin.
