Human rights monitor Euro-Med has stated that around 83 percent of the total casualties of Israel's unprecedented and severe ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip for the past two weeks were civilians.
In a statement, the group said: "Israel is waging a comprehensive, all-encompassing war against the over 2.2 million Palestinians in the Strip… that constitutes a campaign of extermination."
The human rights organisation noted that "Israel has been flattening entire residential neighbourhoods in Gaza through its horrifying retaliatory attacks".
