It does not agree with the numbers reported by officials in Gaza, and believes they are lower.
The humanitarian director in Gaza for Save The Children, Rachael Cummings, says urgent action is needed.
"This is another mass casualty incident that is being reported in the vicinity of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for Food Distribution. The situation here is absolutely dire. And my team said to me today, the situation in Gaza has never been this bad. They are desperately hungry. Children are crying all the time for food. And my teams who are employed, they have money in their bank accounts, they're unable to find food in Gaza to buy."

In sport, Tim Wellens has won Stage 15 of the Tour de France cycling race.
The Belgian national champion sprinted away from other riders, 43 kilometres from the finish line.
Wellens says it was a very special victory.
"I knew I was going to be in a very beautiful list to finally complete my trilogy in the Giro, Tour and Vuelta, so I knew I had to enjoy the moment. I kept riding until the finish line because I just wanted a big gap to fully enjoy it and maybe put my bike in the air after the finish, but I was so happy to win that I forgot to do it."
Tadej Pogacar is the overall winner of the race so far.
