UN Special Rapporteur Michael Fakhri Urges Sanctions Against Israel Amid Famine Concerns in Gaza

Michael Fakhri, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, is advocating for sanctions against Israel, asserting that a potential famine may already be occurring in Gaza. Fakhri, an independent human rights expert appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, raised the alarm after reports of the death of a 10th child from starvation.

In a social media post, Fakhri accused Israel of intentionally starving the Palestinian people in Gaza since October 8. He stressed that an immediate ceasefire is essential to prevent or end the famine and called for sanctions against Israel as a means to push for a ceasefire.

As concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza escalate, the call for sanctions reflects growing international scrutiny and demands for action to address the urgent needs of the affected population.
