Hamas Calls Out Israel: Starvation as a Weapon Deemed a War Crime

The Islamic Resistance Movement has condemned Israel’s ongoing use of starvation against the people of Gaza, labeling it a war crime and a blatant violation of international law. This alarming situation has drawn attention to the humanitarian crisis in the region.

According to Al-Aqsa Network, Hamas issued a statement highlighting the severe siege imposed on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli government. The movement asserts that the systematic use of starvation as a weapon against civilians by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is not only a blatant war crime but also a serious affront to international law and human rights standards, including those upheld by the International Court of Justice.

The statement emphasized critical points regarding the humanitarian crisis:

  1. For 60 consecutive days, the “fascist occupying army” has obstructed the delivery of essential supplies.
  2. Access to food, water, medicine, and fuel has been completely halted due to the closure of all crossings.
  3. Continuous bombardment has exacerbated the famine crisis, pushing the region toward a catastrophic humanitarian disaster.
  4. These actions are described as part of a genocidal campaign aimed at obliterating all facets of life in Gaza.

Additionally, the Palestinian resistance movement referenced recent comments from UNRWA Commissioner-General Philip Lazarini, who revealed that the Israeli occupation forces are reportedly using agency employees as human shields during arrests. This revelation underscores the brutality of the Israeli regime, which appears to have forsaken humanitarian principles and engaged in criminal activities across various levels.

Hamas has urged nations around the globe and United Nations institutions to uphold the values of humanity and justice. They have made a fervent appeal to Arab and Islamic nations, as well as to people of goodwill worldwide, to take immediate action in support of Gaza.
