Layla Moran's relatives and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem say a sniper has killed two women there.

UK MP Layla Moran says her relatives are among hundreds of civilians trapped in a Catholic Church in Gaza City as Israeli forces operate nearby.

The Liberal Democrat says her family are “days away from dying” without access to water or food.

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem say a mother and daughter were killed inside the Holy Family Church complex on Saturday by sniper fire.

The IDF said it found no evidence to show the incident took place.

    Here’s a statement by Layla Moran where updates from her relatives in the church have shown that IDF soldiers and tanks have surrounded the church in the past two days and are still shooting anyone who goes outside of it or near the windows. Several of the wounded have already died as they have no medical supplies or food or water and the electrical generator was already destroyed by the IDF.

    The toilets are in a separate external building, by the way, so they can’t even access the bathrooms without risking being murdered.
