The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has revealed that at least 136 Israeli air strikes targeted 27 hospitals and 12 other medical facilities in Gaza, suggesting grave violations of international law.
The UN stated that this relentless assault on healthcare infrastructure appears to follow a disturbing pattern, raising alarm over potential war crimes. "Intentionally directing attacks against hospitals and civilians is a war crime," the organisation warned.
Disturbing reports have also emerged of torture and abuse at Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza, adding to the mounting evidence of human rights violations by Israel.
