Amnesty International: Israel Implements Deliberate Starvation Policy
according to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Al Jazeera via Mehr News Agency, Amnesty International released a statement on the latest developments in Gaza, revealing new evidence that clearly shows Israel’s starvation policy against Palestinians in Gaza is intentional.
The statement added that through this policy of starving, the Israeli regime systematically destroys both the health and social fabric of Palestinian society.
The report emphasizes that testimonies about hunger in Gaza are an explicit condemnation of an international system that has granted Israel near-total impunity for decades.
Amnesty concluded by demanding an immediate and unconditional lifting of the blockade on Gaza and called for a permanent ceasefire to be established.
Under international charters, deliberate starvation of a population during wartime constitutes a war crime. While Amnesty revealed and confirmed news about this policy’s implementation, it refrained from officially recognizing it as a war crime due to pressure from Zionist lobby groups.
The Palestinian government media office in Gaza also warned about the dire humanitarian conditions, stating: more than 40,000 infants under one year are suffering from severe malnutrition with their lives gradually at risk.
The Gazan government’s statement emphasized that over 100,000 children and patients endure severe food shortages, signaling alarm over an impending broad humanitarian disaster. The Israeli occupiers continue to block essential items from entering Gaza-including infant formula, nutritional supplements, frozen meat, vegetables, and hundreds of other vital goods.
