The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening has strongly condemned Israel for allegedly implementing starvation tactics as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This approach is widely regarded as not just a severe humanitarian concern but also a potential war crime by the Assembly.
Humanitarian Impact
Reports indicate that the actions taken by Israel have resulted in critical shortages of food and essential supplies within Gaza. These shortages have inflicted immense suffering on civilians, including vulnerable groups such as women and children, amid ongoing conflict.
Violation of International Laws
The Assembly emphasized that such tactics represent a violation of international laws and the fundamental rights of those caught in the conflict. The blockade and severe restrictions:
- Limit access to medical care
- Restrict availability of clean water
- Cause shortage of food
These factors together have worsened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Calls for Action
International organizations have voiced their concerns and urged immediate humanitarian intervention to relieve the suffering. The World Assembly demands that:
- Israel ceases policies amounting to collective punishment
- Humanitarian aid is permitted to reach those urgently in need
- Perpetrators are held accountable under international law
Weaponizing starvation against civilian populations is considered unacceptable under international statutes, and the Assembly seeks justice and relief for affected individuals.
