UN: “War Crime” restrictions on humanitarian aid imposed by Israel in Gaza

His concern about the restrictions imposed on humanitarian aid expressed by the UN. The strict restrictions imposed by Israel on the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and the possible use of hunger as a weapon may “be a war crime”, the UN announced today. “The extent of the restrictions imposed by Israel on the entry of aid to Gaza, as well as the way it continues to conduct hostilities may be equivalent to the use of hunger as a war method, which is a war crime,” said Jeremy Lawrence, a spokesman for the High Commissioner for Human Rights, during regular briefing of journalists at the UN headquarters in Geneva. Israel has denied blocking the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Hamas’s ministry of health in the Palestinian enclave announced today that at least 31,819 Palestinians have been killed and 73,934 injured since 7 October during the Israeli military attack on Gaza. According to the same source 93 Palestinians were killed and 142 injured in the last 24 hours,
