The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening has strongly condemned Israel for employing starvation as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This severe tactic involves depriving the civilian population of essential food supplies, significantly worsening the already dire humanitarian situation.
Starvation as a War Crime
International law recognizes starvation as a method of warfare as a violation of human rights. In many cases, it constitutes a war crime under international humanitarian law. The Assembly’s statement calls attention to this grave abuse and stresses the urgent need for global intervention to protect innocent lives.
Humanitarian Impact and Urgent Appeal
The ongoing conflict in the region has caused extensive devastation, with civilians suffering the most from these harsh and inhumane measures. The World Assembly urges the international community to:
- Respond swiftly to alleviate the humanitarian crisis
- Prevent further suffering caused by starvation tactics
- Uphold the principles of human dignity and international law
Efforts must focus on providing essential aid and ensuring that such tactics are condemned and halted to safeguard civilian lives in Gaza.
