Eman al-Kholi had her leg amputated after being wounded in an Israeli air strike that killed her parents.
This one is on Biden-Blinken and company.
B’Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, says the starvation of people in Gaza is “not a byproduct of war but a direct result of Israel’s declared policy”.
“The images of children begging for food, people waiting in long lines for paltry handouts, and hungry residents charging at aid trucks are already inconceivable. The horror is growing by the minute, and the danger of famine is real. Still, Israel persists in its policy.”
Changing this policy, the organisation stated, is not just a moral obligation but a requirement under international humanitarian law.
“Starvation as a method of warfare is prohibited, and when a civilian population lacks what it needs to survive, parties to the conflict have a positive obligation to allow rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian aid, including food.”
