Gaza humanitarian catastrophe

The group, which conducts fact-finding and monitoring activities in Gaza, also voiced deepening horror about Israel’s strikes, calling them a brazen violation of international law and a war crime. The experts said the blockaded territory faces major health hazards and is in dire need of food, water, medicines, fuel and other essential supplies. They emphasized that Israel’s backers also bear responsibility for the regime’s crimes and must act to prevent its disastrous course of action.
