Two years have passed since the start of the Gaza conflict on October 7. Over 67,000 Palestinians have subsequently died as a result of Israel’s unrelenting onslaught on Gaza. Israel has come under fire from rights organizations and experts for using a policy of starvation to create famine in Gaza and converting food and water into weapons of mass destruction.
In late August, the UN formally declared famine in some areas of Gaza. An impartial international investigative commission of the United Nations came to the conclusion that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza a month later.
Leading humanitarian leaders, such as UN relief chief Tom Fletcher, have made urgent calls to stop what they describe as Israel’s “systemic obstruction” of help and necessities, a claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration denies.
