The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening has issued a formal condemnation of Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, accusing it of using starvation as a deliberate weapon in the ongoing conflict. The Assembly asserts that Israel’s blockade, which blocks food supplies and essential aid to Palestinians, represents a war crime under international law.
This strategy has triggered a severe humanitarian crisis, deeply impacting the lives of innocent civilians caught in the conflict zone. Human rights organizations characterize the deprivation of food and basic necessities as a cruel tactic aimed at weakening the Palestinian population.
Humanitarian Impact
The blockade and restrictions have significantly:
- Hindered access to food
- Restricted water supplies
- Limited medical supplies
In light of these conditions, the Assembly has called upon the international community to take urgent action to:
- End the blockade and restrictions
- Protect civilian lives
- Ensure safe access to aid for all affected civilians
Global Concerns
This condemnation underscores the growing worldwide alarm regarding the humanitarian consequences of the conflict in Gaza. It stresses the immediate necessity for measures that:
- Uphold human rights
- Facilitate humanitarian aid delivery
- Mitigate the suffering of civilians
