The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhri, has
described the situation in Gaza as “horrific”, saying that such levels
of starvation have not been witnessed in modern history.
In remarks made to the press on Monday, Fakhri stated that Israel has
been blocking aid from entering Gaza for more than 20 months.
He also noted that Israel is attacking the United Nations and defying
the Security Council, adding that Israel’s attack on the UN is an
attack on the entire world.
Since 2 March this year, the Israeli occupation has closed Gaza’s
crossings to humanitarian, medical and food aid, as well as goods and
fuel, leading to a severe deterioration in humanitarian conditions.
Backed by the United States, the Israeli army has been committing acts
of genocide in Gaza since 7 October 2023. These attacks have resulted
in more than 195,000 people killed or wounded, most of whom are women
and children, in addition to over 11,000 reported missing.
