Did Israel use the weapon of starvation before the current aggression on Gaza? The massacre, known as the Flour Massacre, is part of an ongoing war of starvation against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Hunger is a weapon of war when it is a result, and insecurity is the cause.
Food security means the inability to regularly access enough safe food necessary for normal growth and development. The Gaza Strip suffers from the cause, as food insecurity in the Strip goes back to the years before the war.
