Amnesty International: Gaza Faces Imminent Mass Famine

Amnesty International warns ⁤that Gaza faces mass famine as⁤ occupiers ⁢block aid, driving the ​region toward catastrophe.

According ​to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and the Palestinian Facts Center, Amnesty International has⁣ warned that ⁣Palestinians in Gaza are confronted with mass famine. the organization⁢ stressed the urgent need for a ‍permanent ceasefire and unrestricted entry and distribution of humanitarian aid.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Amnesty International accused the occupying​ regime ‍of blocking aid deliveries,​ bombing shelters, and ‍using⁣ food, water, and medicine as‌ weapons ‌of⁢ war-actions pushing Gaza ‌toward disaster.

Earlier, more than 100 international relief organizations issued an urgent⁤ statement demanding the reopening of border​ crossings to allow life-saving assistance into Gaza.

The ⁤Norwegian Refugee Council also reported that its‌ emergency supplies in Gaza have ‌been wholly depleted. Some staff‌ members are reportedly suffering ⁤severe⁣ hunger. ⁤the group directly blamed ​Israel for paralyzing all humanitarian operations.

The Gaza ministry of Health has‍ confirmed that since October 2023, at ​least 101 people have died from starvation and malnutrition-including 80 ⁢children. ‍In just the past ‍24‌ hours ⁢alone, 15 Palestinians have died from these causes, ⁢four of them children.Meanwhile, the media office of ⁤the Gazan​ government⁢ warned that after more than 140 days with crossings sealed ⁤shut, the territory ‍is now on the brink of ⁢”mass death.”

The Popular Front for the​ Liberation of Palestine condemned⁤ Israeli actions in Gaza as unprecedented crimes surpassing all fascist and Nazi atrocities in history.

Their statement detailed​ how ​ongoing systematic starvation policies combined with widespread bombings; forced displacement;⁤ destruction of medical facilities and services; and severe drinking water shortages constitute full-scale war crimes endangering over ⁤two million Palestinians’ lives.

The Front​ compared killing starving civilians during attempts ⁣to receive food aid ⁣to scenes ‌from nazi death camps.It further emphasized​ U.S.direct complicity‍ through support⁣ for ‌these procedures while blocking humanitarian access.

The declaration‌ described global silence and incapacity⁢ to restrain israeli actions as ‍a blatant betrayal of human values: allowing an entire population’s gradual death while offering only ineffective statements amounts ⁢to ​tacit complicity⁢ in this crime.

it called on world nations not ⁣to remain silent before these atrocities but hold ‍accountable those involved-whether directly ⁣or indirectly-in perpetrating them.The movement warned that Palestinian society will never forgive silence or spectatorship amid ⁢genocide and starvation-and history ⁢will stand witness to this unprecedented crime.
