American doctor working in Gaza City says he'll leave famine declaration to experts, but says 'degree of weight loss, post-operative complications and starvation' is clear

Desperate Palestinians clutching pots and plastic buckets scrambled for rice at a charity kitchen in Gaza City on Saturday, a day after the United Nations declared a famine in the war-battered territory.

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.
