The UN secretary-general warned on Tuesday that four out of every five of the world’s hungriest people live in the Gaza Strip, where “nobody has anything to eat” and warned that deliberately starving civilians could constitute a war crime.
During a high-level UN Security Council debate on “the impact of climate change and food insecurity on the maintenance of international peace and security,” António Guterres stated that “where there is war, there is famine,” whether due to displacement people or the destruction of agriculture or damage to infrastructure, whether as a result of a deliberate policy of denial.
Climate and conflict are the main causes of acute food shortages for nearly 174 million people in 2022, the UN leader said.
