Bakeries have now stopped working as flour and fuel have run out, and the remaining stocks of food are being rapidly depleted. \u201cAny use of starvation of the civilian population as a method of war constitutes a war crime, and so do all forms of collective punishment,\u201d the High Commissioner warned.<\/p>\n A reported Israeli plan to declare Rafah governorate as a new \u201chumanitarian zone\u201d would require Palestinians to move there to receive food and humanitarian aid. \u201cSuch a plan will almost certainly mean large parts of Gaza and those who cannot easily move, including people with disabilities, those who are sick or injured, and women supporting entire families, will be forced to go without food,\u201d T\u00fcrk said.<\/p>\n Israel continues to strike locations in Gaza where Palestinian civilians are sheltering. Between 18 March and 27 April, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Human Rights Office recorded 259 attacks on residential buildings and 99 on tents of internally displaced people (IDP).<\/p>\n Most of the attacks resulted in fatalities, including of women and children. Among the strikes on IDP tents, 40 reportedly took place in Al-Mawasi area, where the Israeli army repeatedly directed civilians to seek refuge. \u201cThese incidents reflect the pattern we have seen during this escalation, of attacks that raise grave concerns of violations of the principles of distinction, proportionality and precautions. Each of these incidents must be fully investigated. Intentionally directing attacks against civilians not taking a direct part in hostilities would constitute a war crime,\u201d T\u00fcrk stressed.<\/p>\n There are also serious concerns of additional violations as the Israeli army continues to attack health facilities. On 22 and 24 April, the army reportedly struck the Martyr Mohammad Al Durrah Children\u2019s Hospital, putting it completely out of service.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Israeli forces have continued to target civilian objects indispensable to the survival of the population. On 21 and 22 April, they conducted apparently coordinated attacks in three governorates, destroying 36 heavy machines, including excavators, water trucks and sewer suction tanks. These were used for relief operations, such as removing debris, distributing water and repairing sanitation systems.<\/p>\n \u201cSuch destruction significantly hinders access to water, degrades public health, and obstructs both the delivery of humanitarian aid and conduct of rescue operations, including retrieving the injured and the dead from under the rubble and clearing debris to allow the ambulances to get to the victims,\u201d the High Commissioner said.<\/p>\n T\u00fcrk reiterated that the cumulative impact of Israeli forces\u2019 conduct in Gaza raises serious concerns that Israel appears to be inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life increasingly incompatible with their continued existence as a group in Gaza.<\/p>\n \u201cThird States have clear obligations under international law to ensure that such conduct stops immediately, and they must act accordingly,\u201d T\u00fcrk said. \u201cThey also must search for and bring to justice all perpetrators of crimes under international law, by whomever committed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 29 April 2025 \u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629\u00a0 \u4e2d\u6587 Fran\u00e7ais Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Human Rights Chief Volker T\u00fcrk today urged the world to act to prevent the total collapse of critical life-saving support in Gaza, where Israeli strikes continue to kill civilians, including in shelters and health facilities. \u201cAs the complete blockade of assistance essential for survival enters its ninth […]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"country":[],"document-category":[1329,1338],"document-source":[1825],"committee-meeting":[],"document-subject":[1769,1945,2005,1741],"entity":[1729],"document-language":[6543,6542,6541],"class_list":["post-307120","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","document-category-press-release","document-category-statement","document-source-office-of-the-united-nations-high-commissioner-for-human-rights-ohchr","document-subject-armed-conflict","document-subject-assistance","document-subject-gaza-strip","document-subject-human-rights-and-international-humanitarian-law","entity-united-nations-system","document-language-chinese","document-language-english","document-language-french"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/307120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/307120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":307127,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/307120\/revisions\/307127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=307120"},{"taxonomy":"document-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-category?post=307120"},{"taxonomy":"document-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-source?post=307120"},{"taxonomy":"committee-meeting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/committee-meeting?post=307120"},{"taxonomy":"document-subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-subject?post=307120"},{"taxonomy":"entity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/entity?post=307120"},{"taxonomy":"document-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-language?post=307120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
