    Israel’s despicable starvation policy is a systematic war crime designed to destroy Palestinian life in Gaza. Its deliberate use of hunger as a weapon to eliminate the population - fits the legal definition of the war crime of starvation and the genocidal act of creating conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction of the group.

    Is it one of the most egregious violations of international humanitarian law, of dignity and of our shared humanity
