Le Bureau des droits de l'homme de l'ONU a déclaré vendredi que la famine déclarée dans le Gouvernorat de Gaza par la Classification Intégrée de la Sécurité Alimentaire (IPC) était le « résultat direct des actions menées par le gouvernement israélien ».
« Il a illégalement restreint l'entrée et la distribution de l'aide humanitaire et d'autres biens nécessaires à la survie de la population civile dans la bande de Gaza, » a déclaré Jeremy Laurence, orateur pour le Bureau.
« Nous avons déjà constaté des décès dus à la famine et à la malnutrition à travers la bande. L'armée israélienne a détruit des infrastructures civiles critiques et presque toutes les terres agricoles, interdit la pêche, et déplacé de force la population – tous des facteurs de cette famine, » a-t-il dit aux journalistes lors du point de presse bi-hebdomadaire de l'ONU à Genève. « Utiliser la famine comme méthode de guerre est un crime de guerre, et les décès qui en résultent peuvent également constituer le crime de guerre de meurtre intentionnel. »
Laurence a déclaré que les autorités israéliennes « doivent prendre des mesures immédiates pour mettre fin à la famine dans le Gouvernorat de Gaza et prévenir de nouvelles pertes de vies à travers la bande de Gaza ».
« Elles doivent garantir l'entrée immédiate de l'aide humanitaire en quantités suffisantes, et un accès total aux organisations humanitaires de l'ONU et autres, » a-t-il dit.

Drones and drought are "closing in" on Sudan, the UN Children's Fund, UNICEF, said on Tuesday, describing unprecedented attacks on the country's infrastructure including by drones travelling up to 1,500 kilometres before hitting their target.
"It is an assault unlike anything Sudan has seen before. In the last week of October, not a single day passed without a drone strike on a power station in Sudan. Up to 15 were hit in the month of October,” said agency spokesperson James Elder.
