The recent ruling by the International Court of Justice — ordering Israel to immediately restore access to U.N.-led aid agencies in Gaza — underscores the moral and legal urgency of the crisis. The deliberate obstruction of food, water, and medical aid to a trapped civilian population constitutes the use of starvation as a weapon of war, a grave violation of international law and basic human decency.
For months, the people of Gaza have faced mass hunger, disease, and despair under relentless bombardment and siege. Hospitals have collapsed, and children are dying not from combat, but from preventable starvation. The ICJ’s order must not be ignored or delayed. All nations, especially those providing military or diplomatic support to Israel, have a duty to enforce compliance and ensure immediate humanitarian access.Silence and inaction make us complicit. Justice and humanity demand an end to collective punishment now.
