New testimonies detail torture and abuse of Gazan detainees in Israeli jails, detention centres
Geneva – New testimonies received by Euro-Med Human Right Monitor from recently-released Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip, including women and children, detail their subjection to torture and ill-treatment by Israeli authorities. The rights organisation cited revelations of crimes such as forced nudity, sexual harassment, and threats of sexual torture, calling for urgent international action to stop these violations.
Testimonies from a group of recently-released detainees who spent varying lengths of time in Israeli jails and detention centres were provided to the Euro-Med Monitor team. These individuals confirmed that they were subjected to severe beatings, dog attacks, strip searches, and denial of food and bathroom access, among other cruel practices that amount to torture.

New policy paper: Israel’s policy of starvation in Gaza will have long-term effects, is causing famine
Geneva – Israel’s policy of starvation in the Gaza Strip will have long-term, irreversible effects, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Wednesday, after international experts predicted that the number of victims of starvation and related diseases may exceed the number of those killed directly during the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in the Strip, ongoing since October 2023.
A new policy paper issued by Euro-Med Monitor entitled “The Gaza Strip: A scene of genocide since 7 October and a potential famine zone on 7 February” examines the dire food situation in the Strip and the probable famine there, particularly in the enclave’s northern governorates. The policy paper was based primarily on reports issued by international organisations, most notably the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global initiative.
According to the Euro-Med report, the number of trucks carrying humanitarian aid that are permitted to enter the Gaza Strip per day, in the best-case scenario, is between 70 and 100, with two of those trucks going to the northern governorates. Prior to 7 October, the number of aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip daily was at least 500.

Israel attacks remaining medical infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, further reducing Palestinians’ chances of survival
Geneva - As it enters the fifth month of its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, Israel has not stopped targeting what is left of the health system there and is sabotaging any chance it may have to save Palestinian lives by firing and bombarding hospitals, ambulances, and medical teams, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement issued Friday.
The rights organisation has documented several serious Israeli military attacks in the past few days which have disrupted the partial return of hospital services, particularly in Gaza City and the Strip’s northern regions. These attacks are part of a larger Israeli attack on the Gazan health sector, ongoing since 7 October 2023.

Detention of popular activist Khaled Al-Natour reflects Jordanian government’s policy of systematic abuse
Geneva - The recent arrest of activist Khaled Al-Natour, one of the leaders of a popular movement supporting the Palestinian cause, was denounced by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor as further evidence of the Jordanian government’s policy of systematic abuse.
The measure also confirms the Jordanian authorities’ arbitrary use of the country’s notorious cybercrime law, which restricts basic freedoms, freedom of speech, and peaceful assembly, Euro-Med Monitor added.
Al-Natour was arrested last night, on Thursday 8 February, just before a public demonstration in favour of Palestinians and against a bridge that is reportedly transporting goods from Jordan to Israel. The demonstration was scheduled for Friday at the Sheikh Hussein (or Jordan River) crossing on the Jordanian-Israeli border.

Fifteen days after ICJ ruling, Israel’s genocide in Gaza Strip continues on the same scale
Geneva - Fifteen days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to take all possible measures to prevent the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and to take immediate steps to ensure humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians there, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor asserted that the Israeli army has maintained its rate of killing civilians, depriving them of their most basic human rights, besieging them, and starving them.
In defiance of the ruling of the world’s highest court and in violation of its own international obligations, including international law and principles, Israel persists in committing egregious violations that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide against the Palestinian people.

South Africa’s request to ICJ to prevent an unprecedented massacre in Rafah is welcomed by Euro-Med Monitor
Geneva - South Africa’s 12 February request to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concerning Israel’s decision to extend its military operations in Rafah is welcomed by Euro-Med Monitor, the rights group said in a statement on Wednesday. Rafah is the last remaining shelter for displaced people and survivors of Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the group noted.
Euro-Med Monitor emphasised the significance of the request, which South Africa made as part of its reaction to the horrific events unfolding in the Strip, particularly in the governorate of Rafah, which was home to roughly 280,000 Palestinians prior to the current Israeli attacks. Today, over 1.4 million people, or more than half of the Gaza Strip's population, are living in Rafah Governorate. The majority of these people are children, and they came to Rafah from all over the Strip in response to military evacuation orders from Israel.
The Israeli military attacks against Rafah have already begun, Euro-Med Monitor warned, and include killing, starvation, and deprivation of health services. Israel’s army has killed about 280 people in Rafah—including about 155 women and children—following the issuance of the ICJ’s decision on 26 January, which acknowledged that Israel has violated its obligations under the Genocide Convention. Since then, the Israeli army has completely or partially destroyed about 220 housing units in the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, the dire humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people in Rafah Governorate have not been met.

Migrant Suicide Crisis: Exposing Europe's Deadly Detention Policies
Michela Pugliese
In the shadows of Europe's southern shores, where the spotlight often dims on the human plight of arrivals, lies a harrowing reality obscured by bureaucracy and indifference.
On a chilling Saturday night, a young boy ended his life within the confines of Italy’s Pre-Removal Detention Center, Ponte Galeria, just outside Rome. Ousmane Sylla, barely 22, etched his final thoughts with the ash of a cigarette, drawing his own face as a prove of existence, yearning for a homeland and a mother's embrace. His story, from a lone minor's arrival six years prior to the haunting echo of suicide, epitomizes a system fraught with institutionalized brutality and despair. As his final words fade against the cell's cold walls of a European detention center, his story illuminates the dark truth of a migrant's existence – a narrative of neglect, confinement, and ultimately, a plea for humanity in the face of bureaucratic callousness.

Gaza: Israel systematically uses quadcopters to kill Palestinians from a close distance
Geneva - As part of its genocide against the Gaza Strip that has been ongoing since 7 October 2023, the Israeli army has been using small drones (or quadcopters) to fire directly at Palestinians, killing and injuring many of them, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented.
Israel’s army has increased its use of electronic-controlled quadcopters—which were previously restricted to use for intelligence purposes—for killing and injuring Palestinians. The Israeli army has escalated its premeditated murders, extrajudicial executions, and judicial killings against Palestinian civilians through direct targeting with snipers and drones in various regions of the Gaza Strip, in addition to aerial and artillery bombardment of residential areas, Euro-Med Monitor said.

Statement of UN experts on Israel’s violations against Palestinian women, girls is welcomed by Euro-Med Monitor
Geneva - The recent statement by United Nations experts on Israel’s flagrant human rights violations of Palestinian women and girls in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank was welcomed by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. The rights group emphasised the significance of the statement given the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023.
The UN experts' statement should be adopted as an additional document to hold Israel responsible for its violations against Palestinian civilians, stressed Euro-Med Monitor. This is especially important as the International Court of Justice is deliberating over South Africa’s lawsuit, which accuses Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian women and girls have reportedly been arbitrarily executed in Gaza, according to the UN experts’ statement. Women are often executed together with family members, including their children: “We are shocked by reports of the deliberate targeting and extrajudicial killing of Palestinian women and children in places where they sought refuge, or while fleeing,” the statement reads.
