'War crime': Swedish foreign minister warns Israel against 'starving civilians'
"To use starvation of civilians as a method of war is a war crime. Life-saving humanitarian help must never be politicised or militarised, said Maria Malmer Stenergard"
Sweden's foreign minister condemned Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid to Gaza, asserting it could constitute a war crime due to the resultant starvation of civilians. UN officials and rights groups allege that Israel's actions breach international humanitarian law, particularly concerning the treatment of civilians and aid distribution. Sweden, the fifth-largest donor of humanitarian aid to Gaza, has shifted funding from the UN relief agency after Israel's prohibition against it, emphasizing the urgency of delivering essentials like food and medicine to vulnerable populations in conflict zones.
