The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening has issued a strong condemnation against Israel for its use of starvation as a weapon against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This tactic is widely criticized and is seen as a significant violation of international law.
The assembly pointed out that cutting off essential supplies to Gaza’s population constitutes deliberate harm to civilians by blocking access to food and fundamental necessities. Human rights experts and global observers have described this method as a ‘war crime’.
Humanitarian Impact in Gaza
The Gaza Strip, already struggling with severe humanitarian issues, faces worsening conditions due to restricted access to vital food and medical supplies amid the ongoing blockade and conflict. The World Assembly stressed that these actions exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, causing increased suffering, especially among innocent civilians such as women and children.
International Response
Various international bodies and human rights organizations have called for:
- Immediate intervention to halt the escalation of the crisis
- Protection of civilian lives and rights in the conflict zones
The situation remains tense, and the global community is closely monitoring the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
