Israel is deliberately starving Palestinians, UN rights expert says
Exclusive: UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, says denial of food is a war crime and constitutes ‘a situation of genocide’. Israel is intentionally starving Palestinians and should be held accountable for war crimes – and is genocide, according to the UN’s leading expert on the right to food. Hunger and severe malnutrition are widespread in the Gaza Strip, where about 2.2 million Palestinians are facing severe shortages resulting from Israel destroying food supplies and severely restricting the flow of food, medicines and other humanitarian supplies. Aid trucks and Palestinians waiting for humanitarian relief have come under Israeli fire. “There is no reason to intentionally block the passage of humanitarian aid or intentionally obliterate small-scale fishing vessels, greenhouses and orchards in Gaza – other than to deny people access to food.”
