Rabat — The inhumane situation in the genocide-torn Gaza is deteriorating as starvation death toll continues to surge.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported the deaths of 8 civilians in the past 24 hours due to malnutrition and famine-related issues, bringing the number to over 188, including 94 children.
Due to the Israeli Occupation Forces’ (IOF) blockade on crossing borders since March 2, shortages of food and medical supplies have led to a widespread and staggering starvation catastrophe in Gaza.
The IOF adopts an atrocious approach, blocking the entry of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza. Gazans are left with two options: stay and succumb to death or move to distribution points and risk being bombarded.
Israel has repeatedly killed Palestinians while seeking food or aid at distribution points, fueling international outcry.
Meanwhile, the IOF have intensified their attacks on Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly preparing to move from partial to full occupation of the strip.
His war cabinet is considering expanding “military actions” into central Gaza, including areas where hostages may be held.
Meanwhile, former senior Israeli officials — including ex‑Prime Minister Ehud Barak — are urging a halt to attacks, warning that the campaign lacks strategic clarity and may prolong the war unnecessarily.
Israel’s genocidal and starvation war against innocents in Gaza, and its stubbornness to respond to international calls to halt atrocities in the enclave, are leading to its growing isolation within the international scene.
The recent country to join an international chorus condemning Israeli-induced famine in Gaza was Germany.
The country’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said that Germany has been following the situation and that “Israel’s de facto blockade of the Gaza Strip is causing famine, leading to people dying, suffering, and being left without water.”
Another voice is that of the Irish President Michael Higgins. He urged the UN chief to implement Chapter Seven of the UN Charter and invoke powers against Israel over its ongoing genocidal assaults and weaponizing of starvation in Gaza.
Given the situation in Gaza, major international powers have decided to recognize the statehood of Palestine during the high-level week of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, including France, the UK, and Canada.
