UN mission accuses Israel of 'genocide' in Gaza Strip

A UN fact-finding mission has accused Israel of deliberately targeting and destroying sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. While analysts said there is ample evidence to the findings, Israel swiftly rejected the report's conclusions and dismissed the allegations as "unfounded".
"More than a human can bear: Israel's systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since Oct 7, 2023", read the report of the Geneva-based UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel.
Published on Thursday, its findings concluded that the Israeli military operations in Gaza have had a disproportionate impact on Palestinian women and girls. The report reminds of other reports of Israeli "genocidal" attacks on Palestine health staff and facilities in Gaza and the West Bank.
