Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has voiced deep concern following reports from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) confirming famine in the Gaza Strip according to UN criteria.
In a statement, Kuwait strongly condemned what it described as a policy of starvation, suppression and displacement carried out by Israeli occupation forces against civilians in Gaza. The ministry stressed that such practices represent a clear violation of international law and international humanitarian law, as well as relevant UN resolutions.
The statement cited UN Security Council Resolution 2417, which explicitly condemns the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.
Kuwait urged the international community and the UN Security Council to take responsibility and allow urgent humanitarian aid into Gaza. The nation also called for an end to what it termed “genocide” and for the occupation forces to be held accountable.
