The UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, accused Israel of subjecting Gaza’s population to forced starvation, which he classified as a war crime. Following a three-month blockade, Israel has allowed limited aid into Gaza while resuming military operations against Hamas, with calls from international leaders for an end to the violence and humanitarian access. Fletcher emphasized the urgency to prevent genocide, noting reports of starvation and displacement, and stressed the importance of precise communication as he faced backlash for previous statements regarding the humanitarian crisis.
