“Live genocide”
For the NGO, the testimonies it has collected confirm that “The fatal combination of hunger and disease is not an unfortunate consequence of Israeli military operations” in Gaza. “It is the intentional result of plans and policies that Israel has conceived and implemented, in the last 22 months, to deliberately inflict on the Palestinians of Gaza of the living conditions calculated to lead to their physical destruction, which is an integral part of the genocide in Israel against the Palestinians in Gaza”she adds.
Amnesty International had accused Israeli authorities in April of committing a “Live genocide” in Gaza, allegations qualified as “Based lies” by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. COGAT, body of the Israeli Ministry of Defense managing civil affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories, said on August 12 that there was “No sign of generalized malnutrition phenomenon” In the Gaza Strip, refuting figures from the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on the deaths due to malnutrition.
