Can Israel be stopped from using starvation as a weapon of war? | Inside Story
The UN’s food agency is halting aid deliveries to northern Gaza because it’s too dangerous.
It says the decision wasn’t taken lightly, and it knows more people risk dying of hunger.
But it’s adamant – conditions need to improve and the safety of its teams must be guaranteed.
The move leaves hundreds of thousands of Palestinians facing possible famine.
Just how bad is the situation in northern Gaza? Is Israel’s offensive a war of starvation?
