## Caption

The United Nations chief has described the famine confirmed in Gaza City and its surrounding areas as a "failure of humanity".
 
Antonio Gutteres said the situation was a "man-made disaster" after a UN-backed body, which identifies hunger levels around the world, raised its food insecurity status in parts of the territory to Phase 5 - the highest and most severe.
 
The report was labelled an "outright lie" by Israel, which has denied there is starvation in the territory.
