International law, specifically International Humanitarian Law (IHL), explicitly prohibits using the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, codifying it as a war crime in treaties like Additional Protocol I (Article 54) and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) (Article 8(2)(b)(xxv)), making it a serious offense in both international and non-international armed conflicts, punishable under national and international law. It involves intentionally denying civilians food, water, or indispensable objects for survival, with the specific aim to starve them out, and is now a rule of customary international law, meaning it binds all states.
It is added to genocide, because the use of starvation as a method of warfare targets the whole population of Gaza at once. However, before starvation, there's something you need to do, which you can find here.
