Despite the U.N. not officially declaring a famine in Gaza after Israel’s blockade, ten top U.N. experts have proclaimed that intentional starvation by Israel has led to a famine across the region. They cited the deaths of multiple children from malnutrition as undeniable evidence. Although Israel claims to have increased aid, severe shortages persist, with hundreds of aid trucks stuck in Egypt. The experts condemn this as a genocidal act, urging global intervention to stop the crisis and calling out the Biden administration for its complicity.

While the United Nations has yet to formally declare a famine in Gaza following nine months of Israel’s near-total embargo of humanitarian aid, ten top UN experts stated on Tuesday that they have seen enough.
“We declare that Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza,” reports UN specialists.
Michael Fakhri, special rapporteur on the right to food, was joined in the statement by other experts, including Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, and Paula Gaviria Betancur, special rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced people.
They said the recent deaths of three youngsters in separate sections of the enclave prompted the experts, who do not speak on behalf of the United Nations as a whole, to declare a famine had broken out.
“Fayez Ataya, who was barely six months old, died on May 30, 2024, and 13-year-old Abdulqader Al-Serhi died on June 1, 2024, at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah,” according to the witnesses. “On June 3, 2024, nine-year-old Ahmad Abu Reida died in the tent that housed his displaced family in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis. “All three children died from malnutrition and a lack of access to adequate healthcare.”
“With the death of these children from starvation despite medical treatment in central Gaza, there is no doubt that famine has spread from northern Gaza into central and southern Gaza,” they continued.
