The White House has not commented on a report finding famine in Gaza. Analysts say that absent U.S. pressure, Israel is unlikely to change course.

The Carney government is endorsing a UN-backed finding that famine is occurring in Gaza, and is urging Israel to stop ramping up its campaign in the Palestinian territory and allow in more aid.

Israel has called the United Nations' declaration of famine in parts of Gaza an "outright lie," but multiple U.N. bodies, more than 100 humanitarian groups, and several of Israel's own allies have warned for months that the war and Israel's restrictions of food into Gaza are causing starvation among civilians.
