Human rights group accuses Israel of trying to starve Palestinians in Gaza


The Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused Israel of trying to starve Palestinians in Gaza, arguing Monday that the Israeli government is using the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip.

The HRW report pointed to comments from high-ranking Israeli officials who discuss what the group claims to be their “aim to deprive civilians” of water, food, and fuel. The referenced comments were made in October by Israeli officials shortly after Palestinian militant group Hamas’s surprise incursion into Israel on Oct. 7.
