Israel may be using starvation as 'method of war': UN rights chief

Description

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, says that a projected imminent famine in war-torn Gaza "can and must be prevented". In a recorded statement, he warns that Israel's restrictions on the entry of aid and its ongoing attacks "may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war, which is a war crime". SOUNDBITE
