Israel starves Gaza: The Great Famine
'We declare that Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza,' United Nations experts said in a statement on 9 July following months of warnings being issued by different international organisations, experts, activists and journalists that famine is setting in Gaza. Israel has a long history of using food as a weapon against the people of Gaza, since 2007 it besieged the whole Strip and restricted food access.
