CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement on Monday that “shocking images” of starving women and children in Gaza will “remain forever as a stain on human history.”
“It is unconscionable that the Biden administration continues to support the far-right Israeli government’s declared policy of starvation of the entire population of Gaza, a gruesome tactic that is a clear violation of international law,” Awad said.
B’Tselem warned in a paper issued on Monday that Gaza’s 2.3 million population is going hungry, saying that this is not a byproduct of war but a “direct result of Israel’s declared policy” which denies Gazans food.
“Gazans now depend entirely on supplies from outside, as they can no longer produce almost any food themselves,” B’Tselem said.
“Most cultivated fields have been destroyed, and accessing open areas during the war is dangerous in any case. Factories and warehouses have been bombed or shut down due to lack of supplies, fuel, and electricity; stockpiles in private homes and stores have long since run out,” it added.
The rights group also lashed out at Israel for letting “only a fraction of the amount entering [the besieged territory] before the war” and also putting restrictions on the “types of goods” and how they are brought in and distributed.
“The result is inconceivable: images of children begging for food, people waiting in long lines for paltry handouts, and hungry residents charging at aid trucks. The horror is growing by the minute and the danger of famine is real, yet Israel persists in its policy,” it said.
It highlighted that allowing food into Gaza is “not just a moral obligation” or “an act of kindness,” rather refusing to comply with this duty is a “war crime.”
