“Starving a Generation” report indicts Israel for weaponizing starvation as a tool of genocide by Defense for Children International – Palestine and Doctors Against Genocide

Ramallah, June 24, 2025 – Defense for Children International – Palestine, in collaboration with Doctors Against Genocide, published a report today asserting Israeli authorities have deliberately weaponized starvation as a method of genocide, resulting in the preventable deaths and suffering of Palestinian children in Gaza that will carry negative impacts for generations to come.

“It couldn’t be clearer: Israel intends to starve Palestinians as a way of removing and destroying them,” said Kathryn Ravey, advocacy officer at DCIP. “Israel is contradicting every rule in the book meant to prevent and punish genocide, and the international community is not only allowing this to occur, but is actively profiting from Israel’s genocide through both the sale of arms and through the continued facilitation of trade and diplomatic protection.”
