Israel has an obligation to do everything in its power to avoid harming or killing Palestinian civilians in its military response to last weekend's terrorist attacks, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Whether the Israel Defense Forces are living up to that standard is already in question as it has launched hundreds of airstrikes into the small enclave of Gaza, killing more than 1,400 people and injuring over 6,200, according to the latest update from the Ministry of Health of Gaza. Israel has blockaded Gaza, not allowing goods in from the Mediterranean Sea while also controlling what goes in by land through Israel. Israel also provides electricity, food, fuel, and water to the more than 2 million Gazan residents but has stopped doing so since the attacks. In one light, that could be considered collective punishment, which is barred under international law, but could also be viewed as not providing material and resources to an adversary.
"As Gaza loses power, hospitals lose power, putting newborns in incubators and elderly patients on oxygen at risk. Kidney dialysis stops, and X-rays can’t be taken. Without electricity, hospitals risk turning into morgues. Families in Gaza are already having trouble accessing clean water. No parent wants to be forced to give a thirsty child dirty water," said Fabrizio Carboni, the regional director for the Near and Middle East for the International Committee of the Red Cross.
