Human Rights Watch accused Israel on Thursday, May 15 of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, May 15, an extermination tool, “while Israeli authorities have blocked entry to any humanitarian aid in the Palestinian territory since March 2.
“The blockade imposed by Israel has exceeded the framework of military tactics to become an extermination tool,” said Federico Borello, an active executive director of the NGO, in a press release in which he also criticizes the “plans aimed at accumulating the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza in an even more limited area, while resting the unusual territory.” “
“ABJECT APPROVE”
Affirming that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israel says that the blockade, established on March 2, aims to force Hamas to free hostages that have always been held there since the unprecedented attack perpetrated by the Palestinian Islamist movement on October 7, 2023.
“The plan of the Israeli government of demolishing what remains of the civil infrastructure of Gaza and concentrating the Palestinian population in a small area would be an abject escalation of their crimes against current humanity, its ethnic cleaning and its acts of genocide,” HRW also emphasizes Thursday.
For weeks, UN officials and NGOs have increased warnings on food, drugs and fuel shortages in the Palestinian territory, where help is vital for the 2.4 million inhabitants, mostly moved, often several times, after more than 19 months of war.
During the October 7 attack, 251 people had also been kidnapped in Israel. Fifty -seven are still held in Gaza, of which 34 declared dead by the Israeli army. Hamas also retains the body of an Israeli soldier killed in a previous war in Gaza in 2014.
