A photo of 13-month-old Mohammed, starving to death in Gaza, held by his mother has shocked the world. Mohammed, who has fallen to almost half the weight of a healthy baby, lives in a tent with no food or medicine. His mother can barely hold her child in her arms. The UN has announced that more than 2 million people are living in famine conditions, and thousands of children are at risk of death.
