UN Expert: Words Can’t Capture Horror of Gazans Life During Israeli Starvation Campaign

News - Middle East: A UN expert has once again warned about the enormity of the situation that has been brought about in the Gaza Strip as a result of the starvation campaign that the Israeli regime has been waging against the coastal sliver concomitantly with its war on the territory.

“Words can't capture aspects of the horror of Palestinian life during the current starvation campaign by Isr (Israel),” Michael Fakhri, the United Nations special rapporteur on the right to food, wrote in a series of posts on X, former Twitter, on Saturday.

“Nor do words alone adequately provide a vision for a better future for Palestinians & the world,” he added.

The regime has brought Gaza under a genocidal war since October 7 in response to a retaliatory operation staged by the territory’s resistance movements.

Simultaneously, it has tightened a siege that it has been enforcing against Gaza since 2007, thus drastically reducing the flow of foodstuffs, water, medicine, and electricity into the already impoverished strip of land.

Citing an instance of the restrictions that has been imposed by the regime on Gazans, Fakhri mentioned its denying all Gazan fishers access to the sea, therefore, destroying 75-plus percent of the territory’s fishing sector.

This is while “life in Gaza is defined by the sea. Small-scale fishers are the heart of that life,” he said.

The restrictions have imposed a struggle on Palestinians for “food sovereignty,” the expert said, identifying the key to elimination of the suffering as their freedom from “occupation, oppression, and exploitation.”

At least 41,182 people, mostly women and children, have been killed across Gaza as a result of the combination of the war and siege.

Inside his posts, Fakhri incorporated illustrations of his August report on food scarcity in Gaza, which had tried to capture the horrific situation there.

In that report, he had asserted that the regime was not waging the war in order to “defend itself” against Gaza’s Hamas resistance movement, but was actually “attacking the indigenous Palestinians as a people.”
