Support our work: Human rights groups say Israel is using starvation as a weapon in the Gaza Strip as Israel severely restricts the delivery of humanitarian aid, medicine and food supplies to millions inside the besieged and bombed territory. In a new report,“ Israeli human rights group B'Tselem lays out how Israel's decision to cut off electricity, water and international humanitarian aid to Gaza after a 17-year blockade against the territory has led to a very quick collapse of infrastructure. “The things that impede this provision of food for people who are starving is a declared policy by Israel,“ says Sarit Michaeli, B'Tselem international advocacy lead. “The Israeli government is at fault, is responsible for this, and this should lead to immediate international action.“ Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
