UN: Israel’s starvation of Gaza started before 7 October 2023
UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, told the General Assembly on 18 October 2024 that Israel's violations of Palestinian rights in Gaza began well before 7 October 2023. 'Israel controlled Gaza’s food supply for decades, keeping people just hungry enough to avoid alarms,' he explained. The report described starvation being used as a weapon of displacement, threatening the existence of Palestinians to further Israel's annexation goals. Fakhri said Israel is now expanding this policy into Lebanon.
