US EditionCouncil of Europe Denounces 'Deliberate Starvation' in Gaza
- Beginning March 2nd, 2025, a complete blockade on aid shipments to Gaza has been imposed, leading to severe famine conditions impacting more than two million Palestinians throughout the region.
- This blockade follows a resumed offensive on March 18 aiming to recover hostages and has caused farmland destruction, fishing bans, and closure of bakeries and kitchens.
- As a result, 92% of young children and nursing mothers are not receiving sufficient nutrition, hospitals have depleted their blood supplies, and famine-related deaths have already begun to occur.

- Calls grow for immediate international intervention through a diplomatic humanitarian convoy to prevent mass death, uphold international law, and address this deliberate starvation.
