The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening has issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s use of starvation tactics against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, labeling it a serious war crime. According to the Assembly, Israel’s blockade and severe restrictions have drastically limited access to food and essential supplies for Gaza’s residents.
This approach is seen as a deliberate effort to weaken the Palestinian population through hunger and deprivation. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated, with civilians suffering from acute shortages of food, water, and medical aid.
International bodies and human rights organizations have voiced deep concern regarding the devastating effects of these tactics on innocent civilians. The World Assembly calls for immediate global action to:
- End the use of starvation as a method of warfare
- Protect the lives of vulnerable populations
- Hold accountable those responsible for such violations
It is important to note that the use of starvation as a warfare tactic is prohibited under international law. The current situation underscores the urgent need for both diplomatic and humanitarian interventions aimed at alleviating the suffering of Gaza’s people.
