Geneva - Amnesty International called on all international actors, particularly the European Union (EU), to take serious steps to stop Israel's genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, whether through the use of military weapons or forced starvation policies that have rendered the Strip "completely foodless."
In a press statement, Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard called on all relevant parties to pressure Israel to allow the entry of food, water, and medicine into the Gaza Strip, and to work to hold accountable those responsible for genocide and war crimes.
She spoke about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, based on her observations and field monitoring of the ongoing 19-month war of extermination, which has intensified with Israel's imposition of a comprehensive blockade on the Palestinian Strip since 2 March 2025.
In this context, Callamard noted the "alarm bells" in the Gaza Strip due to the depletion of food and all essentials of life, especially after Israel resumed its war of extermination last March.
She said, "We know that people are suffering from severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. The World Food Organisation, the World Health Organisation, and all other UN and humanitarian organisations are sounding the alarm: There is no more food in Gaza."
Callamard further emphasised the seriousness of the situation by repeatedly repeating the phrase "there is no more food in Gaza," describing the conditions across the Palestinian territory as "absolutely terrifying."
She also said that what is happening in Gaza is "genocide in plain sight."
