A United Nations report has accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza by deliberately targeting the healthcare system.
Published on the UN website, the report from its Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, alleges that Israel’s actions led to the collapse of the health system, disproportionately affecting children.
The 24-page report highlights that Israeli security forces carried out air strikes against hospitals, causing damage to buildings and surroundings, as well as multiple casualties.
It noted that they besieged hospital premises, prevented the entry of goods and medical equipment, and obstructed access by humanitarian agencies.
