Israel resumed airdrop aid to Gaza on Saturday night, the Israeli military said, a few days after more than 100 agencies warned that mass starvation was spreading across the enclave. CBC News spoke to a mom who says her six-month-old died due to lack of formula.

Israel's military on Tuesday responded to accusations by the World Health Organization (WHO) that its forces attacked the UN agency's facilities in central Gaza and detained staff members. The military said soldiers came under fire in the city of Deir al-Balah on Monday and returned fire in the direction the shots originated.

Israel denies it is responsible for shortages of food - but aid groups have accused its government of creating "chaos, starvation, and death".

The Gaza health ministry says more than 100 people have died from starvation in the Palestinian enclave since Israel cut off supplies in March.

Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.

Health authorities say Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 21 people. More than half of those killed late Tuesday and early Wednesday reportedly were women and children.

The Hamas-run Palestinian health ministry said at least 54 people have starved to death in Gaza just this week. Twenty-eight western nations, more than a hundred humanitarian aid organizations, and top UN officials have all said Israeli policies are to blame.
