PCHR Documents Testimonies of Systematic Rape and Sexual Torture in Israeli Detention against Released Palestinian Detainees

Posted on | Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) documents one of the most heinous crimes that can be committed against human beings and their dignity in the modern era. In recent weeks, PCHR staff collected new testimonies from a number of Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip who were recently released from Israeli prisons and detention camps. These accounts reveal an organized and systematic practice of sexual torture, including rape, forced stripping, forced filming, sexual assault using objects and dogs, in addition to deliberate psychological humiliation aimed at crushing human dignity and erasing individual identity entirely. PCHR affirms that the testimonies do not reflect isolated incidents but constitute a systematic policy practiced in the context of the ongoing crime of genocide against more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including thousands of detainees held in prisons and military camps closed to international monitoring bodies, including the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Israel Bombs Gaza’s Baptist Hospital, Putting it Out of Service and Leaving Nearly One Million Palestinians with no Lifesaving Healthcare Services

Posted on | Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) condemns in the strongest terms the heinous crime committed by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) today, 13 April 2025, in the early morning when the latter directly bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital “Baptist” in Gaza City. This healthcare facility is the last standing one providing health services, at very limited capacity, to more than one million Palestinians in Gaza City and northern Gaza amid a total collapse of the healthcare system due to the ongoing genocide against the Gaza Strip population.
