Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in Gaza
Advocacy groups, UN experts, and prosecutors have alleged that Israeli authorities intentionally deprived Gaza’s civilian population of objects indispensable to survival (food, water, fuel, electricity, medicines) as part of wartime policy, amounting to the war crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. The claim cites October 2023 siege statements, restrictions on land crossings, and persistent impediments to relief. Israel denies a starvation policy, says it facilitates large aid volumes, and blames UN distribution capacity, insecurity, theft, and ongoing combat for aid shortfalls. The ICC Prosecutor sought arrest warrants (May 20, 2024) and ICC judges later issued warrants (Nov 21, 2024) including the starvation war-crime charge; the cases are ongoing.
