No place is safe. Israel has intensified attacks including in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
On Friday, the United Nations Office for Human Rights (OHCHR) warned that Israel's "collective punishment of the entire Gaza population" constitutes a war crime that must be immediately stopped.
"For nearly three weeks, Palestinian civilians have endured relentless Israeli airstrikes by air, land, and sea; thousands of them have perished, some amidst the ruins of destroyed homes, mosques, or bakeries," OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said, and revealed that the families of two organization workers had perished in the attacks.
"We have received harrowing accounts of parents writing their children's names on their arms to identify the bodies in the future," she emphasized, adding that 57 UN workers have lost their lives in the hostilities that began on October 7.
The spokesperson for the office led by Volker Türk also deemed Israel's forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Gazans, through evacuation orders, a war crime. This comes at a time when "no place is safe" in Gaza.

Amazing how the west has built up this whole narrative of liberal western societies being the champions of human rights in the world, and Israel just demolished it all in three weeks. All of a sudden every one can see that the west doesn't give a shit about human rights, civilians being killed, and an actual genocide unfolding. The west stands firmly on the side of genocide and US is now willing to turn this conflict into a regional war if any country attempts to intervene to stop the genocide. The masks have finally fell off.
I wouldn't be so confident. This will never stick in people's memories; the talking points will change and everyone will be back to being good patriots. Iraq, Vietnam, etc should have been clear enough (for Americans at least), but it's all long forgotten.
That's true in the west, but I think this sort of stuff is convincing the rest of the world that the west has no moral authority over them. It's no longer going to be possible for western diplomats to go around the world and talk about supposed human rights abuses in China as an argument for why countries need to align with the western camp. We're already seeing this happening, as one western diplomat admitted recently:
At the end of the day, the west is just a small part of humanity, and the golden billion enjoyed having disproportionate sway over the rest of the world. Those days are finally coming to an end.
Israel is one unending war crime, they don't give a shit what anyone says. Neither do the owner/operators of most nations, which support them no matter what they do.
You're right a 30 minute YouTube video by travelingisrael.com completely addressed all of my concerns, damn, thank you so much. I fucking love Zionism now, let's go kill some brown babies my dude
Insipid fucking moron
Like so many other people on the internet you seem to have very little information about what you're talking about, but that doesn't stops you from expressing your opinion.
