The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has denounced Israel’s killing of Palestinians as well as blockade on all aid into Gaza as war crimes, Al Jazeera reports.

The agency said Israeli forces have killed at least 58 Palestinians, including 10 children and three women, in the vicinity of the Israeli-imposed “no-go” zones since the ceasefire, and noted many of the victims were attacked as they attempted to check on their homes.

“Targeting Palestinians who are not actively participating in hostilities is a war crime regardless of the Israeli-imposed movement restrictions,” the agency said.

“As the occupying power, Israel has a legal obligation to ensure the provision of the necessities of life for Palestinians living under its control,” the OHCHR said.

“Any denial of the entry of the necessities of life for civilians may amount to collective punishment. The use of hunger and starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime.”
