Amnesty Israel Starving Gaza Palestinians
Amnesty Accuses Israel of Deliberate Starvation in Gaza
Amnesty International has accused Israel of deliberately starving Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, amid the 22-month-long conflict, despite Israel’s tight control over aid entering the territory.
In a recent report, the rights group cited testimonies from displaced Palestinians and medical workers who treated malnourished children, saying Israel is “carrying out a deliberate campaign of starvation” in Gaza.
Amnesty claims that Israel’s actions are systematically undermining the health, well-being, and social fabric of Palestinian life. “These conditions are the result of plans and policies that Israel has implemented over the past 22 months to deliberately inflict harm on Palestinians in Gaza, potentially leading to their physical destruction,” the report said, calling it part of an ongoing campaign of genocide against Palestinians.
The report is based on interviews conducted in recent weeks with 19 displaced Gazans sheltering in three makeshift camps, as well as two medical staff from hospitals in Gaza City.
AFP reached out to the Israeli military and foreign ministry for comment, but neither responded immediately.
This is not the first time Amnesty has criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza. In April, the organization accused Israel of committing a “live-streamed genocide” by forcibly displacing Gazans and creating a severe humanitarian crisis—a claim Israel strongly rejected.
