A new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) finds that the Israeli authorities have caused massive and deliberate forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza, in what amounts to a war crime, reports Al Jazeera.
The report author Nadia Hardman published the report in a press conference Thursday.
She said while addressing a press conference, “Israeli forces have destroyed the majority of Gaza’s water, sanitation, communications, energy and transport infrastructure as well as its schools and hospitals” and “systematically razed orchards, fields and greenhouses”.
The international human rights organization analyzed satellite imagery, Israeli forced evacuation orders and statements by senior Israeli officials to show that authorities in Israel are deliberately and permanently making returning to large areas of Gaza effectively impossible for the Palestinian population.
