Human Rights Watch’s Israel and Palestine director, Omar Shakir, stated: “For more than two months, Israel has been depriving Gaza’s population of food and water, a policy spurred on or endorsed by high-ranking Israeli officials and reflecting an intent to starve civilians as a method of warfare.” “Global leaders ought to speak out against this heinous war crime, which has devastating effects on Gaza’s population,” he continued. In the meantime, hundreds of injured individuals and a steady stream of fresh patients have been described as a “bloodbath” by UN personnel transporting medical supplies to the Al-Shifa Hospital in north Gaza. The World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that “patients with trauma injuries were being sutured on the floor and there is no pain management available.”
