According to the UN report, “Nearly 70 percent of those killed in Gaza were children and women” – ThePrint – ANIFeed

Geneva (Switzerland), November 8 (ANI): The United Nations Human Rights Office on Friday published a report detailing the horrific reality that has emerged in Israel and Gaza since October 7, 2023, and suggested that justice must be served regarding the “grave” lasted. It is a violation of international law.”

The UN Human Rights Office said in a statement that the personal information of those killed in Gaza due to strikes, shelling and other hostile actions has been verified. “Nearly 70 percent of these deaths have so far been found to be children and women, indicating a systematic violation of the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law, including discrimination and proportionality,” the statement said.

He also said, “The continuation of these attacks, in which the population is killed equally, is indicative of a blatant indifference to the death of civilians and the impact of the chosen means and methods of warfare.”

Among confirmed deaths, those most represented are children. The three most represented age categories were children ages 5 to 9, children ages 10 to 14, and infants and toddlers ages 0 to 4.

Approximately 80 percent of confirmed deaths were killed in residences or similar residences; 44 percent of them were children and 26 percent were women.

Meanwhile, UN Human Rights, which shared the video message of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, shared a video message on “I have repeatedly warned about the risk of atrocity crimes being committed. Justice must be served for these serious violations of international law.”

He also spoke about the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), saying their actions raised concerns due to attacks on hospitals and journalists. “The report raises concerns about the actions of the Israel Defense Forces regarding attacks on hospitals and journalists. It also indicates the use of white phosphorus ammunition. States have an obligation to act to prevent atrocity crimes, and I call on them to support the work of accountability mechanisms, including the International Criminal Court; to exercise universal jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute crimes under international law in national courts and to comply with extradition requests.”

It is particularly notable that Hamas launched a major terrorist attack on Israel on October 7 last year, killing more than 1,200 people and holding more than 250 hostage. Nearly 100 of them are still in captivity, and many are feared dead.

In response, Israel launched a strong counter-offensive targeting Hamas units in Gaza. However, the Israeli operation reportedly killed more than 45,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Rising civilian deaths have raised global concerns and increased calls for a ceasefire. (MOMENT)
