On 15 March 2024, OXFAM International released a 26-page briefing paper, “Inflicting Unprecedented Suffering and Destruction: Seven ways the government of Israel is deliberately blocking and/or undermining the international humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip”, to outline how Israel blocks and undermines international humanitarian aid to Gaza, an obvious violation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which Israel is currently being accused of violating in a case in the International Court of Justice.
“Over five months into the Israeli mass atrocities on the Gaza Strip, in response to the horrific 7 October 2023 attacks by Palestinian armed groups,” writes OXFAM, “a meaningful and safe humanitarian response is made impossible by the government of Israel. In this briefing we outline seven fundamental humanitarian access constraints.”
