Doctor Who star Billie Piper has demanded 'urgent action' for Palestinian children and urged fans to 'spare a thought' for those caught up in the conflict in Gaza.
The 42-year-old posted a statement on Instagram, contrasting her own family life with the suffering of children caught in the war.
The actress, best known for playing Rose Tyler alongside the ninth and 10th Doctors, paired her words with a video from Al Jazeera showing Palestinian children in tears at a makeshift school graduation after losing their parents.
Her comments come as Israel declared Gaza City a combat zone, and as the UN's World Food Programme, which is responsible for tackling global hunger, confirmed famine has taken hold in parts of Gaza.
More than 640,000 people are facing starvation, and 132,000 children at risk of dying from acute malnutrition, according to the agency.
