Israel’s imposed starvation deadly for children: HRW

Human Rights Watch said that the Israeli government has been using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza, referring to it as a war crime in its latest report.

The report mentions that 32 people, including 28 children in the Palestinian enclave, have been dying from starvation-related complications.

"Concerned governments should impose targeted sanctions and suspend arms transfers to press the Israeli government to ensure access to humanitarian aid and basic services in Gaza, in accordance with Israel’s obligations under international law and the recent International Court of Justice order in South Africa’s genocide case," the organisation said.
