Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of using starvation as “weapon of war

The Israeli military is accused by Human Rights Watch of employing starvation as a “weapon of war” in the ongoing conflict.

The group alleges that Israel has deliberately blocked the delivery of essential supplies, including water, food, and fuel, while obstructing humanitarian assistance.

International laws prohibit the use of starvation as a tactic in warfare. In response, Israel’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Lior Haiat, labeled Human Rights Watch as “antisemitic” in statements to AFP news agency.

“Human Rights Watch… did not condemn the attack on Israeli citizens and the massacre of October 7 and has no moral basis to talk about what’s going on in Gaza if they turn a blind eye to the suffering and the human rights of Israelis,” he said.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has declared that Hamas has committed war crimes and released statements regarding the attack on October 7.
