Israel starved 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, WB: UN Expert
September 09, 2024

The United Nations expert says Israel has starved around two point three million Palestinians in Gaza enclave and occupied West Bank.

The UN special rapporteur on the right to food Michael Fakhri in his report said Israel has been destroying the Palestinian food system for more than 70 years by devastating orchards and farms and by killing peasants, fishers and shepherds.

He said in Gaza, malnutrition, famine, and disease are killing more people than bombs and bullets.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Education has said that due to Israeli bombardment more than 625,000 students in Gaza Strip are unable to attend schools.

Israeli attacks have also disrupted mobile phone and internet services.
