In the intense negotiations taking place at the United Nations, a resolution is being discussed, seeking a temporary halt in hostilities in Gaza to allow much-needed aid to enter the region. The vote on this resolution was originally scheduled for yesterday but was delayed for further negotiations. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch, an international non-governmental organization, has accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.
According to the organization's Israel and Palestine director, Israeli authorities have intentionally deprived the population in Gaza of food and water by obstructing humanitarian assistance and destroying essential facilities such as bakeries, grain mills, and water and sanitation facilities.
