According to UK-based anti-poverty charity Oxfam, 90% of Gaza’s population is on the verge of starvation as a result of Israel’s attack, as reported by Anadolu Agency. Sally Abi Khalil, regional director of Oxfam for the Middle East and North Africa, stated, “Some UN Security Council member states are still toying with words rather than voting for a ceasefire, while over 90pc of people in Gaza cannot find their next meal.” Khalil was cited as saying, “Gaza’s shocking descent into starvation was so predictable as to be premeditated, an ongoing war crime by the Government of Israel.” The current US leadership, “which preaches principles hat it then betrays as it enables Israel’s atrocities,” has been urged by a top UN official to be opposed by UN members.
