A new UN report reveals that Israel's military actions in Gaza include systematic sexual and reproductive violence against Palestinians, marking these acts as genocidal. The report highlights the destruction of an IVF clinic, losing 4,000 embryos, and the overall assault on reproductive health services. It underscores the escalation of sexual violence, including rape and humiliation, both in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. The commission stresses that these heinous acts serve to terrorize Palestinians and undermine their self-determination rights.
There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them and perpetuate a system of oppression.
Israeli military has systematically committed sexual, reproductive, and other gender-based violence in its siege of Gaza, amounting to genocidal acts against Palestinians.
