🇵🇸 Euro-Med Monitor to UN: Recognise Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide
In an open letter to the United Nations, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor highlighted that 2.5% of the Gaza Strip’s total population has now been killed or injured in the bloody Israeli attacks.
Addressing UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Euro-Med Monitor called for official recognition of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, in reference to the critical situation unfolding in the Strip since 7 October.
The Geneva-based organisation stated that the aforementioned percentage of victims in Gaza—which is home to about 2.3 million people—would be equivalent to approximately 18 million European victims or 11 million Arab victims.
According to Euro-Med Monitor estimates, 17,144 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, including 7,208 children, 3,716 women, and a total of 15,482 civilians. More than 33,830 Palestinians in Gaza have sustained various injuries.

🇵🇸 Gaza, from catastrophe to genocide: MEMO in Conversation with Professor Penny Green
Israel has entered its annihilation phase in Gaza and transitioning from slow-motion to high speed genocide of the Palestinian population in the besieged enclave, argues law Professor Penny Green. Tel Aviv's destruction of historic Palestine and the Palestinian people has been state policy since 1948 and the siege on Gaza was part of this long term strategy. The latest war might be about to change that. MEMO speaks to Professor Green who explains what factors demonstrate an active genocide, why Gaza has reached this catastrophic stage and how civil society can respond. She addresses head-on the accusations that the use of the term genocide is exaggerating the situation.
Green was one of over 50 leading scholars in #criminology and state violence who signed a hard-hitting condemnation of Israel.

🇵🇸 Horrific scenes unfolding in UN-run shelters for displaced people in Gaza | EuroMed HR Monitor
Horrific scenes are unfolding in #UN-run shelters for Palestinian refugees as inhumane conditions prevail in the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement issued Sunday, expressing shock and deep concern over the international community’s possibly deliberate evasion of its duty to protect civilian lives
Nearly 900,000 out of the more than 1.7 million internally displaced people in Gaza, or nearly 80% of the Strip’s population, live in shelters run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (#UNRWA), according to EMHRM. About 99 UNRWA facilities, all in the south of the Gaza Valley, are housing displaced Palestinians

🇵🇸 Putting Palestinians "On a Diet": Israel's Siege & Blockade of Gaza | IMEU – 2014
Israel’s siege and blockade of Gaza are central pillars of a policy of economic warfare intended to punish the entire population of the tiny, occupied coastal strip in the hopes that Palestinians living there will blame Hamas for their predicament and reject the organization as well as any resistance to Israel’s continued control of the territory.
As noted by the UN and human rights organizations such as Amnesty International, this amounts to collective punishment, which is a violation of international law. (Read the article for more on the legal status of the blockade and siege.)

🇵🇸 Gaza : two mothers killed every hour and 7 women every two hours.
Executive Director of UN Women, Sima Sami Bahous Briefing Security Council 22 Nov 2023.
"180 #women are delivering #babies every day without water, painkillers, anesthesia for C-sections, electricity for incubators and medical supplies. Yet, they continue caring for their children, for the sick, for the elderly, mixing baby formula with contaminated water, going without food so that their children can live another day, enduring multiple risks in severely overcrowded shelters.”
"#Children who manage to survive the war are likely to see their lives irrevocably altered through repeated exposure to traumatic events. The violence and upheaval around them can induce toxic stress that interferes with their physical and cognitive development. Even before this latest escalation, more than 540,000 children in #Gaza half of its entire child population – were identified as needing #MentalHealth and psychosocial support."
