UN rights experts accused Israel of carrying out a "targeted starvation campaign" that has resulted in the deaths of children in Gaza.
“We declare that Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza,” 10 independent United Nations experts said in a statement.But the experts, including the UN special rapporteur on the right to food Michael Fakhri, insisted there was no denying famine was under way.
“Fayez Ataya, who was barely six months old, died on 30 May 2024, and 13-year-old Abdulqader Al-Serhi died on June 1, 2024 at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah,” they said.
