Amnesty Accuses Israel of Starvation Policy in Gaza

Why in the News ?

Amnesty International has accused Israel of implementing a “deliberate policy” of starvation in Gaza, citing testimonies of displaced Palestinians and medical staff. The group alleges that this campaign is part of Israel’s ongoing genocide, while Israel continues to deny such claims.

Amnesty’s Report and Allegations:

  • Amnesty International released a report accusing Israel of deliberate starvation tactics in Gaza.
  • The report is based on interviews with 19 displaced Palestinians and two medical staff in Gaza hospitals.
  • Allegations include:
    • Systematic destruction of Palestinian health, well-being, and social fabric.
    • Policies designed to create conditions of physical destruction, amounting to genocide.
  • Amnesty earlier accused Israel of “live-streamed genocide” in April, highlighting forced displacement and humanitarian catastrophe.
  • Israel has denied deliberate starvation, calling such claims false propaganda.

Israel’s Response and Ongoing Conflict:

  • Israeli military and Foreign Ministry did not immediately comment on Amnesty’s latest findings.
  • The Israeli Defence Ministry’s COGAT rejected reports of widespread malnutrition, disputing figures from Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry.
  • Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing Gaza City amid intensified Israeli bombardment.
  • PM Netanyahu described Gaza City as Hamas’ last major bastion.
  • With Israel controlling 75% of Gaza, further offensives risk:
    • Displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians.
    • Endangerment of hostages.
    • A slide into prolonged guerrilla warfare.

Understanding Gaza Conflict:

●      Gaza Strip: A 41 km-long Palestinian territory along the Mediterranean, bordered by Israel and Egypt.

●      Governance: Controlled by Hamas since 2007, facing Israeli blockade.

●      Israel-Palestine Conflict: Rooted in disputes over land, refugees, security, and Jerusalem.

●      International Law: The Geneva Conventions prohibit starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.

●      Amnesty International: A global NGO focused on human rights violations, often publishing reports on conflicts.
