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.
