Gaza is the only place on Earth where an entire population is facing famine. This is not a natural disaster. It is engineered starvation.

Israel’s refusal to let in aid leading to Gaza’s starvation is not a byproduct of war. It is a system designed to starve an entire population.

The Israel blockade of Gaza has destroyed food systems, sealed borders, flattened farmland, and turned humanitarian aid into a weapon. International law is clear: the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime, a crime against humanity, and an act of genocide.

This explainer investigates the Gaza famine and shows:

  • What starvation does to the human body and mind
  • How Israel’s siege and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation weaponise aid
  • Why the silence of the US, Europe, and Arab regimes enables genocide by starvation

The starvation of Gaza is not an accident. It is designed. And it is sustained by a world order that refuses to stop it.
