Israel intentionally starving civilians in Gaza: HRW

13 Sept 08:17 Key points summarised by AI

Human Rights Watch (HRW) accuses Israel of intentionally starving civilians in Gaza, labeling the act a war crime.
HRW alleges Israeli forces are deliberately blocking water, food, and fuel, impeding humanitarian aid, and destroying agricultural areas.
Israel's foreign ministry vehemently denies the accusations, calling HRW an "anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli organization" for not condemning the October 7 Hamas attack.
The accusation emerges amidst the ongoing Gaza war, which has resulted in widespread displacement and critical shortages of basic necessities for the civilian population.
Despite the conflict, Israel recently approved and facilitated the temporary entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
