US EditionWeaponisation of Food in Gaza Constitutes War Crime: UN Human Rights Office
- On June 24, the UN human rights office in Geneva denounced Israel’s use of food as a means of control in Gaza, describing it as a violation of international law, and called on Israeli forces to cease firing at individuals attempting to access food supplies.
- This came after Israel imposed a full blockade on Gaza for more than two months, with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—supported by the US and Israel—beginning food distribution efforts there in late May.
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it had distributed about 680,000 food boxes, while UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini criticized the aid system as an abomination degrading desperate people and called for UNRWA's return.
- A United Nations human rights official reported that since late May, Israeli military fire has killed more than 410 Palestinians and injured around 3,000 as they attempted to access aid distribution centers in Gaza.
- The UN warned that Gaza's entire population faces famine risk, and it called for prompt investigation of killings and accountability for those responsible amid the worsening humanitarian crisis.
