United Nations experts have vehemently condemned the persistent and systematic violence aimed at Palestinians in Gaza, particularly highlighting the plight of women and children. During a press conference in Geneva last week, the stark conditions endured by these groups amidst escalating conflict were brought to light.

Recent findings revealed mass graves at Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals within Gaza, where over 390 bodies were unearthed. Among these were numerous women and children who exhibited signs of torture and summary executions, with some evidence suggesting victims were buried alive. This discovery paints a gruesome picture of the brutality faced over the last seven months.

The conflict has led to the death of 34,488 Palestinians, including 14,500 children and 9,500 women, and has injured 77,643 more. It has not only ravaged the population but also decimated vital infrastructure, including Gaza’s largest fertility clinic, compounding the hardships faced by pregnant women and newborns. Approximately 50,000 pregnant women and 20,000 newborns are at grave risk due to the targeted destruction and limited access to medical care.

The crisis has escalated to a severe food security emergency, with 1.1 million people facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. This dire situation has resulted in a sharp increase in miscarriages and deteriorated health conditions among women and children, emphasizing the severe Impact of the conflict on these vulnerable populations.

In their urgent call for action, UN experts demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities and implored global states to halt all arms exports to the region. They reiterated that women and children are entitled to special protection under international humanitarian law and human rights law, pressing for swift international action to address the humanitarian disaster.

The situation in Gaza not only demands immediate attention but also a sustained and committed international response to ensure the protection and safety of its most vulnerable citizens. The ongoing human rights violations highlight the urgent need for accountability and effective measures to prevent further atrocities.
