Gaza’s government demands ‘immediate end' to Israeli-imposed famine 

The government in Gaza has demanded that the Israeli-imposed famine be immediately ended by opening all crossings leading into the enclave, and the entry of baby formula as part of 500 aid trucks and 50 fuel trucks daily. 

“We demand the formation of an international commission to investigate the systematic starvation crime,” Gaza’s Government Media Office said in a statement, calling for the "arrest of Israeli war criminals”, including soldiers vacationing in or travelling to countries around the world.

“We hold the Israeli occupation, the US administration, and countries involved in genocide, such as Britain, Germany, and France, as well as the international community, fully responsible for this historic crime.”

The number of Palestinians starved to death in Gaza due to the Israeli-imposed blockade on aid has risen to 122,  including 83 children, according to the enclave’s health ministry. 

Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 aid seekers in Gaza so far.
