UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has called Israel's siege of Gaza the "darkest moment" of its genocidal policies, suggesting violations of the UN Genocide Convention.
Türk highlighted that "unimaginably, the situation is getting worse by the day", warning that Israeli practices in northern Gaza risk emptying the area of Palestinians, potentially constituting genocide.
He expressed concern that over 150,000 people in Gaza are dead, wounded, or missing due to the ongoing assault, fearing that the number could continue to escalate beyond estimates.
Türk indicated that atrocity crimes such as genocide and crimes against humanity are possible under the current circumstances, reinforcing the urgency for global leaders to intervene.
