UN expert claps down Netanyahu’s ‘starvation campaign’ in Gaza

The UN independent investigator on the right to food has accused Israel of carrying out a “starvation campaign” against Palestinians during its genocidal operation in Gaza.

In a report this week, investigator Michael Fakhri said Tel Aviv began to block all food, water, fuel, and other supplies into the blockaded Gaza, just two days after Hamas’ surprise raid in southern Israel’s military sites and settlements.

Fakhri said limited aid initially went mostly to southern and central Gaza, not to the north where Israel had ordered Palestinians to go.

A professor at the University of Oregon School of Law, Fakhri was appointed by the UN Human Rights Council as the investigator, or special rapporteur, on the right to food and assumed the role in 2020.

“By December, Palestinians in Gaza made up 80 percent of the people in the world experiencing famine or catastrophic hunger,” Fakhri said.

“Never in post-war history had a population been made to go hungry so quickly and so completely as was the case for the 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
