In Gaza, forced rationing of food has been since 2010, when we discovered the first calorie scheme by COGAT, but since November 2023, a total blockade as a collective punishment under the pretext "We are fighting human animals," which is already a conflation, therefore an act amounting to crimes against humanity.

International law, particularly International Humanitarian Law (IHL), prohibits using civilian starvation as a method of warfare, making it a serious war crime under the Rome Statute of the ICC, but it allows for some food denial during sieges if done incidentally and not as a deliberate tactic to starve civilians, though actions like destroying food sources, crops, or water supplies for that purpose are forbidden, as it cause mass hunger. Blocking humanitarian aid or destroying civilian food resources to induce starvation is a violation.

• When acts and or activities by the Israeli war belligerent targeting the colonized people in Gaza are systematic, and or are on a large scale, we consider these acts and activities as shown in the 'breadcrumbs'. This does not include violations, which refer to breaches of rules and international law.
