Reports indicate a consistent pattern of starvation occurring across various regions, including Bengal and Gaza, as a means of conflict. While the suffering caused by hunger is undeniable, the infrequent prosecution of such incidents presents a significant challenge. International legal frameworks and customary international law generally do not explicitly define starvation as a war crime. However, the lack of consistent action raises concerns about accountability and potential violations of humanitarian principles. Investigations into the root causes of food insecurity and the responsibility of parties involved are ongoing.
