Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has established that nearly 10% of Gaza’s population has been killed, injured, or disappeared during 293 days of Israeli genocide.
In a press statement, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor a Geneva-based independent organization with regional offices across the MENA region and Europe listed an array of human rights violations and recommendations as noted in the article.
About 50,000 Palestinians have been killed or are missing under the rubble, with their bodies still lying in the streets or in completely destroyed and inaccessible areas.
Approximately 100,000 Palestinians have been injured, mostly civilians, including children and women. Around 3,000 Palestinians are missing after being arrested from Gaza, with their fate unknown.
Our estimates show at least 51,000 deaths due to the blockade, lack of medical care, collapse of the healthcare sector, severe drug shortages, travel restrictions for treatment, disease outbreaks, and famine.
Before the genocide, Gaza’s natural death rate was about 3.5 per 1,000 people; it has now risen to 22 per 1,000 people.
Infectious diseases are spreading rapidly due to water shortages, overcrowding, sanitation infrastructure collapse, waste accumulation, lack of cleaning supplies, and repeated forced displacement.
Since the start of Israel’s genocide, Gaza residents have been under constant bombardment, gunfire, tank shells, and systematic, widespread destruction of homes, civilian structures, and vital infrastructure, including repeated attacks on shelters and displacement camps.
Intense military attacks have destroyed or damaged over 70% of buildings in Gaza, forcibly displacing more than 2 million Palestinians (out of 2.3 million), many of whom have been displaced multiple times.
We renew our call for the international community to ensure the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, including essential food and non-food items needed to respond to the catastrophic situation.
We also call for pressure on Israel to reopen the main water pipelines to Gaza, especially in the north, and to ensure the safety of technicians for water pipeline rehabilitation and maintenance of sanitation facilities.
We demand pressure on Israel to allow the entry of materials needed for repairing and rehabilitating civilian infrastructure to provide essential services to Gaza’s civilian population and save them from health disasters.
We emphasize the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, accompanied by measures to enable the distribution of medical supplies, food, clean water, and other resources to meet basic humanitarian needs.
