Amnesty International has warned that “with every hour that passes without decisive international action, more Palestinian lives are lost, and Gaza City edges closer to complete annihilation”, Al Jazeera reports.
Erika Guevara Rosas, the group’s senior director for research, advocacy, policy and campaigns, said in a statement that today’s famine declaration is “a scathing indictment of the failure of states to press Israel into ending its genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip”.
“This famine is the direct consequence of Israel’s deliberate campaign of starvation in Gaza,” she said.
