Geneva, March 21 (RHC)-- Israel has carried out a number of deadly strikes in Gaza over the past 24 hours.  In Gaza City, an Israeli attack killed 24 people at the Kuwait Roundabout, where Palestinians had gathered to collect aid. 

Meanwhile, an Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp has killed at least 27 Palestinians. The official death toll in Gaza is approaching 32,000.

The World Health Organization warned Tuesday many infants in Gaza are on the “brink of death” due to the lack of food. A WHO spokesperson said newborn babies are “simply dying because of low birth weight.”  

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said Israel may be committing war crimes by limiting aid into Gaza.  “The extent of Israel’s continued restrictions on the entry of aid into Gaza, together with the manner in which it continues to conduct hostilities, may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war, which is a war crime.  The clock is ticking.  Everyone, especially those with influence, must insist that Israel acts to facilitate the unimpeded entry and distribution of needed humanitarian assistance to end starvation and avert all risk of famine.”
