Israel’s unrelenting violence came as its total blockade of Gaza entered its third month. The World Central Kitchen charity said Wednesday it had halted Gaza relief efforts after running out of supplies. Gaza’s government media office reports more than 3,500 young children face imminent death from starvation, another 70,000 children are being hospitalized for severe malnutrition, and 1.1 million Palestinian children lack the minimum nutritional requirements for survival.

On Wednesday, more than 20 United Nations experts demanded action by states to avert what they called “the annihilation of the Palestinian population.” They write, “Continuing to support Israel materially or politically, especially via arms transfers … risks complicity in genocide and other serious international crimes.”
