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.

As war intensifies in the city of El Obeid in North Kordofan state, filling up a jerrycan of water comes at a high risk for women and girls: by day, drones strike water points and by night, women who venture out to fill a bucket risk rape. UN Women warns of a dual terror that has turned access to water into a deadly gamble.

UN humanitarians working in war-torn Sudan warned on Friday of growing dramatic needs among the more than 100,000 displaced people now sheltering in camps in the city of El Obeid. "We are providing even not the full food ration to the people, but even that reduced food ration is being shared by the recipients with other families, because they know that they don't have any other source of income," said World Food Programme (WFP) Sudan Country Director Abdallah Alwardat.
