The story behind the photograph of a starving Gaza baby
A photographer in Gaza has told the story of how he captured a series of harrowing photographs, showing an emaciated child.
Ahmed al-Arini told BBC Newshour that he wanted to "show the rest of the world extreme hunger" that babies and children are experiencing in the Gaza Strip.
Global food security experts have not yet classified the situation in Gaza as a famine, but UN agencies have warned of man-made, mass starvation taking hold.
They have blamed Israel, which controls all supplies entering the Palestinian territory, but it has denied responsibility.
Israel blames Hamas for any cases of malnutrition.
