Genocide in Gaza

Hundreds of Palestinian children have been killed by the Israeli military offensive on Gaza, amounting to one-third of the total death toll, with the casualty count rapidly rising as Israeli authorities seal Palestinians in Gaza off from food, fuel, electricity, water, and medical supplies.

Israeli officials’’ statements combined with widespread and systematic attacks carried out by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip raise extreme concern that this is now a campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people.

Meanwhile, an Israeli artillery strike hit a group of reporters from several outlets who were clearly marked as press. This war crime constituted a blatant attack and a crime against freedom of opinion and the press, human rights, and international humanitarian law, through the easy killing of unarmed journalists, victims of their duty to convey the truth, and defend it with the lenses of their cameras and pens, and transfer them to the screens the repeated Israeli occupation attacks in south Lebanon.
