Israel's Use of Starvation as a Weapon in Gaza: Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza, deliberately depriving Palestinians of access to food, water, and other basic necessities. HRW called on world leaders to speak out against this "abhorrent war crime." The organization cited statements from Israeli officials, interviews with survivors, reports from aid organizations, and satellite imagery as evidence. Israel faces increasing pressure over civilian casualties resulting from its indiscriminate bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government has accused HRW of being an "anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli" organization.
