Human Rights Watch accused Israel on Thursday of using its aid blockade of the Gaza Strip as "a tool of extermination".
"The blockade imposed by Israel has gone beyond military tactics to become a tool of extermination," said Federico Borello, the interim executive director of the non-governmental organisation.
He also criticised "plans to cram Gaza's 2 million inhabitants into an even smaller area, while rendering the rest of the territory uninhabitable".
