NEW INVESTIGATION: Since Oct '23, the Israeli military has systematically targeted agricultural land and infrastructure in Gaza. To mark Land Day in Palestine, we present our analysis of this widespread destruction as an act of ecocide that supports Israel’s genocidal campaign.

My remarks a few weeks ago to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Gaza. The international community has done nothing to prevent Israel's campaign on genocide and starvation. The world's governments are complicit. It is time to sanction Israel to ensure an immediate ceasefire.

“The current situation in Gaza is catastrophic and words can’t describe it.”

In rare contact with one of our staff members in northern #Gaza , MSF nurse Loay Harb describes the situation there, including the lack of food and the medical support he provides where he can.

NEW INVESTIGATION: Since 7 Oct 23, the Israeli army has weaponised humanitarian measures such as ‘evacuation orders’, ‘safe routes’ & ‘safe zones’ to support their military operations & facilitate the mass displacement of Palestinians.
