❗️Amnesty: Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues despite ceasefire
Amnesty International says Israel’s genocide in Gaza has not stopped despite the announced ceasefire, warning that Palestinians remain trapped in conditions “calculated to bring about” their physical destruction.
The group argues that Israel has shown no change in intent and continues to defy International Court of Justice orders meant to protect Palestinian life.
Amnesty highlights several ongoing genocidal practices:
– Killings continue: At least 347 Palestinians, including 136 children, have been killed since 9 October.
– Starvation and disease: Israel still blocks essential food, medicine, and reconstruction materials, creating conditions for slow death.
– Infrastructure collapse: Equipment needed to repair hospitals, water systems, sewage networks, and remove unexploded ordnance is still restricted.
– Forced confinement: Palestinians remain pushed into less than half of Gaza, cut off from farmland and the sea.
– Systemic deprivation: Dietary diversity remains extremely low, with many families still unable to access vegetables, fruits, or protein.
– Lack of accountability: Israeli authorities have not investigated or prosecuted officials responsible for genocidal acts or statements.
– International pressure easing: Some governments are reducing pressure on Israel, despite ongoing violations.
Amnesty warns that the ceasefire risks creating a false sense of normalcy while Israel continues to impose life-threatening restrictions on an already devastated population.
The organization urges states to halt arms transfers, maintain political pressure, and demand unfettered humanitarian access to prevent further destruction of Palestinian life.
