Iman al-Nouri's youngest son, two-year-old Siraj , woke up crying from hunger and asked to get some nutritional supplements.

He and two of his older brothers - Omar, nine , and Amir , five - were killed in an Israeli air strike.

Amir and Sama were among the dead, while Omar and Siraj were seriously wounded.

The Israeli military said it targeted a " Hamas terrorist" and that it regretted any harm to "uninvolved individuals".

UN agency for Palestinian refugees ( Unrwa ) says there are thousands of malnourished children across the territory.

Dr Abutaha called on Israel to allow in enough food, medicine and fuel to meet the basic humanitarian needs of everyone in Gaza .

He expressed concern that people were being given "false hope" that Israel and Hamas could soon agree a ceasefire deal.
