The organization warned, in a report for the United Nations and non-governmental organizations, that the Gaza Strip is on the brink of imminent famine.

The organization clarified that the testimonies it collected confirm that "the deliberate result of plans and policies designed and implemented by Israel over the last 22 months imposes on the Palestinians of Gaza calculated living conditions that lead to their physical destruction, and this is part of the ongoing genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinians in Gaza."
