UN accuses ******* of war ******* over attacks on Gaza hospitals

A ******* Nations commission of inquiry has accused ******* of carrying out a “concerted policy to ******** Gaza’s healthcare system” during its ongoing war with ******.

The commission said ******** attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities and *******’s treatment of ************ detainees amounted to war *******, as well as the ****** against humanity of “extermination”.

****** and other ************ groups are also accused of war ******* and ******* against humanity for their treatment of ******** hostages held in Gaza.

******* is yet to comment, but has long accused the UN of bias and dismissed previous critical reports.

The report, which will be presented to the UN General Assembly on 30 October, was led by Navi Pillay, the South ******** former UN human rights chief.

******** security forces have “deliberately *******, detained and tortured medical personnel”, the report said, while children have “borne the brunt” of “the collapse of the health system”.

, whose car was hit as she and her family tried to flee ********. Several family members were *******, but Hind managed to phone the ************ Red Crescent for help. The ambulance trying to reach her was also shelled, and Hind, her family, and the ambulance crew all *****.

The commission says the attacks on the healthcare system have “inflicted conditions of life resulting in the destruction of generations of ************ children and, potentially, the ************ people as a group”.

The report alleges ************ armed groups, including ******, have subjected ******** hostages to “physical *********, ******, ******* *********, forced isolation, limited access to hygiene facilities, water and food, threats and humiliation”.

It calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the remaining hostages.

The report also expresses concern about the treatment of thousands of ************ detainees, some of them children.

******** security forces have subjected them to systematic ******, including ********, ***** and other forms of ******* *********, the reports alleges.

It directly names *******’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, saying the ****** took place “under direct orders” from him.

The report contains detailed evidence and adds to growing concerns, reflected in a case at the International Court of Justice and investigations by the International ********* Court, at the conduct of the widening war in the Middle East.

The war began after ******’s unprecedented ******* on southern ******* on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were ******* and 251 others were taken ********.

More than 42,060 people have been ******* in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s ******-run health ministry.
