Risk of ‘genocide’ is increasing in northern Gaza, Oxfam says
The risk of “genocide” in northern Gaza is increasing amid rising fears of famine in the region, Oxfam warned in a statement yesterday.
Israel “is ignoring one of the key provisions of the International Court of Justice,” which is to provide “urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance,” Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam’s Middle East and North Africa director, said.
The two-month-long golden time of agriculture in the enclave has been “destroyed” under Israeli operations, and the country has restricted life-saving aid from entering the city, the statement from Oxfam said.
It added that the worst results might come for some 300,000 people in northern Gaza if no proper management and supplementation have been addressed immediately.
Numerous humanitarian agencies, including the U.N., have warned of the starvation in northern Gaza, urging Israel to stop blocking the aid to enter the city. Israel denied the statement, saying it was these organizations’ fault for not distributing aid to civilians.
