The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) has published a 129-page report documenting the systematic use of torture and inhumane treatment of Palestinians from Gaza detained by Israel since 7 October 2023.
The UN human rights office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is alarmed by reports that the Israeli security cabinet on 11 May decided to resume land registration in Area C of the occupied West Bank. The registration, which was suspended in 1968, appears to be the latest tool used by Israel to acquire Palestinian land and consolidate the unlawful annexation of the West Bank.
Gaza, 12 May 2025 – Al Mezan has published a new fact sheet exposing the catastrophic and deliberate starvation of Gaza’s population, with a specific focus on children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. The fact sheet, titled “The Effects of Israel’s Genocidal Siege and Starvation on Gaza’s Children, Pregnant Women, and Nursing Mothers,” documents the calculated use of hunger as a weapon of war and underscores the genocidal nature of Israel’s policies since the full siege imposed on 2 March 2025.
Israeli military strikes continue across Gaza, leaving nowhere safe. Between 18 March and 9 April 2025, there were some 224 incidents of Israeli strikes on residential buildings and tents for internally displaced people (IDPs). In some 36 strikes about which the UN Human Rights Office corroborated information, the fatalities recorded so far were only women and children.

PUBLIC DOSSIER OF OPENLY AVAILABLE EVIDENCE ON THE STATE OF ISRAEL’S ACTS OF GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS IN GAZA AS AT 4 FEBRUARY 2025
The war in Gaza has killed nearly 16,000 children since October 2023, most of whom have died in indiscriminate bombings. Yet a deeply unsettling subset of these deaths stands apart – children arriving at trauma centres with gunshot wounds.
Israel has increasingly employed sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence against Palestinians as part of a broader effort to undermine their right to self-determination and carried out genocidal acts through the systematic destruction of sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities, according to a new report issued today by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.
