  • Israel carried out "genocidal acts" against Palestinians by systematically destroying women's healthcare facilities during the conflict in Gaza, and used sexual violence as a war strategy, United Nations experts said in a new report on Thursday.

The article from MSN discusses a report by United Nations experts who have accused Israel of committing acts that could be classified as genocide and sexual violence in Gaza. The experts highlighted the severe impact of Israel's military operations, which have led to the deaths of over 23,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, since October 7. They pointed out the use of heavy bombs in densely populated areas, causing widespread destruction and displacement. Additionally, the report mentions the dire humanitarian situation, with nearly 1.9 million people displaced and facing acute shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The UN experts also criticized the international community for not doing enough to stop what they describe as "genocidal incitement" and called for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering in Gaza.
