New York - Saba:
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, said on Friday that sanctions are an effective way to "force Israel to bring aid to Gaza Strip."
"Israel is responsible for paying the necessary compensation for what it is doing in Gaza, and Arab countries should sever ties with it," Fakhri said in a statement.
"The people of Gaza have been suffering from a policy of starvation for more than 20 years and what is happening now is the worst famine in history," he said.
Fakhri emphasized that "Israel is responsible for ensuring the entry of humanitarian aid and is trying to blame other countries."
About 1.5 million of Gaza's 2.4 million Palestinians have become homeless after the genocidal war destroyed their houses, and Gaza Strip has entered the stage of famine due to the closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid.
Since October 7, 2023, enemy forces, with absolute American support, have been committing genocide in the besieged Palestinian Gaza Strip, leaving more than 167,000 Palestinians dead , wounded, most of them children , women, and more than 14,000 missing.
