Israel 'engineered famine', says Amnesty International chief

Amnesty International chief Agnes Callamard, in a post to X social media platform, warned that the deaths of children through dehydration and malnutrition are the "result of acts by Israeli authorities which engineered famine".

"They knew the likely outcome of their actions but persisted," she said, adding that the countries which halted funding to Unrwa also "bear responsibility".
