**GAZA CITY** – A new report alleges that Israel’s ongoing blockade of Gaza is causing widespread starvation, with Palestinians suffering significant weight loss. Researchers claim the average resident has lost 18 kilograms due to extreme hunger exacerbated by the recent conflict. Al Jazeera’s Hind Touissate reports that the restrictions on food and essential supplies amount to the deliberate weaponization of starvation.
The report details the severe impact of the blockade on Gaza’s civilian population, highlighting the insufficient food supply and the resulting malnutrition. The precise methods by which Israel is allegedly using starvation as a weapon remain unspecified in available summaries, but the severity of the hunger crisis is undeniable, with alarming rates of weight loss documented among the population. The report calls for immediate international intervention to alleviate the humanitarian crisis and ensure the safe and sufficient delivery of food and other necessities to the besieged territory. Israel has yet to comment publicly on these allegations. The ongoing situation underscores the urgent need for a lasting resolution to the conflict and an end to the suffering of Gaza’s civilian population.
