UN Special Rapporteur Michael Fakhri and EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell have condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis. Fakhri described the situation as unprecedented, stating that a civilian population has never been made to go hungry so quickly in modern history. Borrell, addressing the UNSC, criticized Israel for using starvation as a weapon of war, noting the dire statistics of 30,000 deaths, 1.8 million displacements, and 500,000 people on the brink of starvation. He emphasized the man-made nature of the disaster, accusing Israel of preventing the entry of life-saving aid and using hunger as a 'war arm.' The international community, including Human Rights Watch and various media outlets, has echoed these concerns, drawing parallels between Israel's actions in Gaza and war crimes.
