A U.N. report released indicates that Israeli military actions during the 17-month conflict in Gaza involved systematic gender-based violence. This included targeting fertility clinics and maternity wards, leading to maternal fatalities and hindrance of aid. The report claimed that such actions may amount to genocide as they aimed to diminish Palestinian reproductive capacity. Israeli leaders, however, dismissed the findings, stating the report distracts from atrocities committed by Hamas in the same period. The ongoing conflict’s impact on both men and women through violence and sexual humiliation was highlighted, urging a need for accountability.
The U.N. report alleged that Israeli forces engaged in systematic gender-based violence, attacking crucial healthcare facilities like fertility clinics and maternity wards.
Israeli officials condemned the U.N. report's findings as baseless, accusing the organization of ignoring alleged crimes committed by Hamas.
