The United Nations urged the international community today to "flood" Gaza with aid as the number of children dying because of starvation is continuously increasing. 

The spokesperson for the UNOCHA, Jens Laerke informed reporters in Geneva that "With children starting ... to die from starvation, that should be an alarm like no other."

"If not now, when is the time to pull the stops, break the glass, and flood Gaza with the aid that it needs?" Laerke exclaimed. 

"That is what we need to see happen," he urged.
