UN Accuses Israel Of Turning Gaza Hospitals Into ‘Death Traps’ – The Cradle
UN Accuses Israel Of Turning Gaza Hospitals Into ‘Death Traps’
The report comes just days after the Israeli army violently evicted north Gaza’s last functioning hospital before setting it on fire
The UN Human Rights Office issued a report on 31 December condemning Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals, saying they had become “death traps.”
The 23-page report documented various Israeli attacks on Gaza’s hospitals and the destruction of the strip’s health care system between October 2023 and July 2024.
“The destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza, and the extent of killing of patients, staff, and other civilians in these attacks, is a direct consequence of the disregard of international humanitarian and human rights law,” the report said.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said the Israeli military had shown “blatant disregard for international humanitarian and human rights law.”
“As if the relentless bombing and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza were not enough, the one sanctuary where Palestinians should have felt safe, in fact, became a death trap,” Turk said in a statement.
Dr. Abu Safia was then seen at Israel’s notorious detention center, Sde Teiman, where Israeli forces regularly rape and torture detainees.
The Israeli military justifies its attacks on Gaza hospitals by claiming Hamas uses them as command centers for military operations. Israel claims the patients, staff, and displaced civilians it abducts are suspected militants.
However, the UN report alluded to such claims but said Israel had provided no evidence to substantiate them.
The report said Israel’s attacks against hospitals and civilians in Gaza could constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.
