The United Nations' human rights chief, Volker Turk, has issued a stark warning regarding Israel's sustained restrictions on aid into Gaza. Turk expressed concern that these restrictions could potentially amount to the war crime of starvation.
Following a UN-backed report predicting an 'imminent' famine in northern Gaza, Turk attributed the dire situation to Israel's extensive limitations on the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid. He emphasized that the 'situation of hunger, starvation, and famine' in Gaza is a direct consequence of Israel's actions.
