Famine 'currently playing out' in Gaza

A UN-backed global hunger monitor has said "the worst case scenario of famine" is now unfolding in Gaza. The IPC's report highlights widespread starvation and malnutrition, with over 20,000 children admitted for treatment by mid-July. Israel continues to deny there's starvation in Gaza. We speak to aid workers in Gaza about the effect they are seeing on children there.

We also walk around the BBC building, speaking to our correspondents, experts and editors about the latest from the war in Ukraine, the floods in China, the wildfires in Turkey, and the latest violence in Nigeria.
