## Transcript

Deadly attacks on distraught civilians trying to access the paltry amounts of food aid in Gaza are unconscionable for a third day running. People were killed around an aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. This morning we received information that dozens more people were killed and injured. There must be a prompt and impartial investigation into each of these attacks and those responsible held to account. Attacks directed against civilians constitute a grave breach of international law and a war crime. Palestinians have been presented the grimmest of choices. Die from starvation or risk being killed while trying to access the meager food that is being made available through Israel's Trials.

Militarized humanitarian assistance mechanism. This militarized system endangers lives and violates international standards on aid distribution. As the United Nations has repeatedly warned, the willful impediment of access to food and other life sustaining relief supplies for civilians may constitute a war crime. The threat of starvation, together with 20 months of killing of civilians and destruction on a massive scale, repeated forced displacements, intolerable dehumanising rhetoric and threats by Israel's leadership to empty the strip of its population also constitute elements of the most serious crimes under international law.

In 2024, the International Court of Justice Studies found that there was a real and imminent risk of irreparable prejudice to the rights of Palestinians in Gaza under the convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The court issued binding orders on Israel to take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full cooperation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, including food, water, electricity, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, as well as medical supplies and medical care to Palestinians throughout Gaza.

There is no justification for failing to comply with these obligations.
