Gaza's entire population of two-point-three million Palestinians is now at risk of famine. That's the warning from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.Starvation is being fuelled by the lack of food distribution across the Strip. The operation is being run mostly by private contractors for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is backed by the US and Israeli governments. The UN says it has 600 aid trucks ready to cross into Gaza but they're being blocked by Israel.

Olga Cherevko, the spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, joins Al Jazeera’s live from the Jordanian capital Amman.
