This handout picture released by the Jordanian army on March 16, 2024, shows members of the Jordanian army aboard a German military aircraft preparing humanitarian aid parcels before an airdrop mission over the northern Gaza Strip, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement.
It was also linked to the “displacement of most of the population, as well as the destruction of crucial civilian infrastructure”, he said.“The extent of Israel’s continued restrictions on the entry of aid into Gaza, together with the manner in which it continues to conduct hostilities, may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war, which is a war crime.”
Without a surge of aid, famine would hit the 300,000 people in Gaza’s war-battered north by May, it said. Israel’s retaliatory offensive against Hamas has killed more than 31,800 people, most of them women and children, according to Gaza’s health ministry.Jens Laerke, spokesman for the UN humanitarian agency OCHA, pointed to the difficulty of clearly determining if the strict criteria have been met to declare a famine.
He demanded “an immediate ceasefire, as well as the unconditional release of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza”.
