The NGO ActionAid called the month-long Israeli ban on aid entering Gaza "appalling" and warned a "new cycle of starvation and thirst" loomed.

Famine has taken hold and starvation is widespread, the UN says, with over half the country experiencing "high levels of acute food insecurity".

A necropsy report also revealed that one of the couple's three dogs, which had been crated while recovering from surgery, died from starvation and dehydration.

"Fish and seabirds could mistake them for food, leading to starvation and serious health issues," said Mr Duncan.

The man confessed to setting the fire after enduring years of "prolonged abuse, starvation, severe neglect, and inhumane treatment", police in Waterbury, Connecticut, said.
