UN rapporteur: Method of delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza is "sadistic"

The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, has criticized the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza, describing it as "sadistic."

"I am speechless about the sadistic delivery of aid to Gaza. If this is true, it is a US-Israeli crime: the use of humanitarian aid for humiliation, murder, and torture," the rapporteur said in a post on the X platform on Wednesday.

By deliberately starving people, paving the way for forced displacement, according to the United Nations, Israel has pushed 2.4 million people into starvation by closing the Gaza Strip's crossings to humanitarian aid, particularly food, since March 2.
