The Ramallah-based Union of Agricultural Work Committees urgently draws attention to the “deepening famine” in the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.
It called this “a catastrophe deliberately manufactured through the Israeli genocidal war” as it has blocked all aid from entering since March 2.
The union reminded that in April, far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reaffirmed the country’s commitment to enforcing famine in Gaza, declaring that “not even a grain of wheat” would be allowed into the enclave.
“This is not policy failure; this is a calculated campaign of mass starvation,” it said. “Today, the people of Gaza are starving by design.”
