Human rights groups say Israel is using starvation as a weapon in the Gaza Strip as Israel severely restricts the delivery of humanitarian aid, medicine, and food supplies to millions inside the besieged, blockaded, illegally occupied (by Israel), and bombed Palestinian territory.

In a new report, Israeli human rights group B’Tselem lays out how Israel’s decision to cut off electricity, water, and international humanitarian aid to Gaza after Israel's 17-year blockade against the territory has led to a very quick collapse of civilian infrastructure.

“The things that impede this provision of food for people who are starving is a declared policy by Israel,” says Sarit Michaeli, B’Tselem international advocacy lead.

“The Israeli government is at fault, is responsible for this, and this should lead to immediate international action.”
