Since 1948, Israel has employed food and water as tools of state policy to control, subjugate, and displace Palestinians, with recent actions in Gaza described as deliberate starvation. This strategy is viewed by some observers as a continuation of a long-standing practice aimed at collective punishment and intimidation. Concurrently, reports indicate that nearly 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza over the past two years, including five journalists killed recently, with accusations that Israel has targeted media personnel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly acknowledged the killing of journalist Anas Sharif, a move that has drawn international criticism. Some sources argue that Palestinian fighters also contribute to civilian starvation, contesting claims of an Israeli-imposed food shortage. The ongoing conflict has led to widespread condemnation of violence against civilians and journalists, with calls for global intervention to end the humanitarian crisis and alleged war crimes.
