Israel’s policy of starvation in Gaza will have long-term effects, is causing famine

Geneva – Israel’s policy of starvation in the Gaza Strip will have long-term, irreversible effects, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Wednesday, after international experts predicted that the number of victims of starvation and related diseases may exceed the number of those killed directly during the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in the Strip, ongoing since October 2023.

A new policy paper issued by Euro-Med Monitor entitled “The Gaza Strip: A scene of genocide since 7 October and a potential famine zone on 7 February” examines the dire food situation in the Strip and the probable famine there, particularly in the enclave’s northern governorates. The policy paper was based primarily on reports issued by international organisations, most notably the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global initiative.

According to the Euro-Med report, the number of trucks carrying humanitarian aid that are permitted to enter the Gaza Strip per day, in the best-case scenario, is between 70 and 100, with two of those trucks going to the northern governorates. Prior to 7 October, the number of aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip daily was at least 500.
