UN experts slam attacks on Gaza shelters, forced displacement in West Bank
"The cycle of displacement, terror, and targeted attacks serves an ultimate purpose: to make life unbearable for Palestinians and permanently force them from their land."
"Targeting areas known to shelter displaced civilians is a grave breach of international humanitarian law, as the vast majority of Gaza's population has already been displaced multiple times."
"Women and children bear a disproportionate share of deprivation, experiencing grave health risks, including hunger, freezing, flooding, and a lack of basic services."
"The scale and pattern of these actions shows once again the ongoing broader policy of ethnic cleansing, with more than 36,000 Palestinians forcibly displaced amid expanding illegal settlement activity."
UN experts have condemned Israeli air strikes and forced displacement measures affecting Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Incidents in March included air strikes that set tents on fire, resulting in numerous deaths. The panel emphasized that the majority of Gaza's population has faced multiple displacements, constituting forcible transfer. Civilians in makeshift shelters are suffering from severe health risks. The experts also highlighted the escalation of forced displacement in the West Bank, driven by the Israeli army and settler violence, leading to significant harm to Palestinian communities.
