Gaza: A growing number of sick and injured people are dying due to Israeli blockade, restrictions on entry of medical supplies
Palestinian Territory - Following 10 months of its systematic and widespread destruction of the health sector, and imposing arbitrary blockade, Israel continues to deliberately prevent the entry of medical supplies, including medical devices and essential medicines, into the Gaza Strip, resulting in a high death toll there.
Now more than ever, immediate action is needed to lift Israel’s blockade on the Strip, bring in medical supplies to save the lives of sick and injured persons, guarantee the right to travel for those in need of critical treatment, and bring in the supplies required to immediately rebuild the health system and ensure its safety from Israeli targeting.

Gaza: Israel targets shelter schools in systematic forced evacuation of the displaced people of Gaza
Palestinian Territory - The Israeli army is increasingly targeting schools that provide shelter for the displaced population in Gaza City, killing and wounding hundreds of them in the process. It has also issued orders for the illegal forced evacuation of Gaza from the north to the south, in a systematic effort fueled by revenge to drive residents from their homes and places of displacement and rob them of any stability.
In just eight days, Israeli aircraft attacked nine schools in Gaza City that served as shelters for thousands of displaced people. They destroyed the schools above the heads of the occupants, killing 79 Palestinians and injuring 143 more—mostly women and children—in addition to several other victims who were buried beneath the rubble and could not be retrieved due to the lack of the necessary tools.

Gaza: Expanding Israeli operations in Deir al-Balah threatens the lives of one million people
Palestinian Territory - The illegal evacuation orders that the Israeli army has been enforcing in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, and Mawasi al-Qarara, west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, have raised fear of additional forced displacement and an attack on an area in which nearly two million people are crammed.
The Israeli army has continued its pattern of issuing illegal evacuation orders in the Strip. One such order was issued yesterday, on Wednesday morning, and targets all civilians, including those who have already been forcibly displaced, who are living in Blocks 129 and 130 in the area of Al-Mahta and Deir al-Balah. This area is home to 10s of thousands of people and is close to the Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The Israeli orders, along with earlier ones that targeted residents of eastern and southern Deir al-Balah, show that Israel is continuing to expand its attack on Deir al-Balah, which is home to one million people, the majority of whom have previously been displaced to the centre of the Strip from northern or southern Gaza.

Silence of int’l community on Israel’s genocide in Gaza could allow it to occur in West Bank as well
Palestinian Territory – Israel’s massive military operation in the northern occupied West Bank is a part of the widespread and dangerous aggression that it has been waging against the Palestinian people for decades. The current Israeli violence in the West Bank also includes the violence of armed settler groups and an expansion of the ongoing genocide that has occurring in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023.
In the last few months, the West Bank-based Euro-Med Monitor field team has observed an increase in both the number and severity of the Israeli army’s killings and crimes of storming and destruction against Palestinians there. Members of the field team also note that Israel is allowing and supporting its settlers’ attacks and violent crimes against Palestinians in different parts of the West Bank, including crimes of murder, threats, and destruction of private and immovable property, as well as the destruction and theft of agricultural crops.

Tunisia: Escalation of violations against rights defenders and activists undermines constitution, international obligations
Geneva – Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor is closely monitoring the systemic crackdown on human rights defenders and activists, especially lawyers, in Tunisia. The Tunisian authorities, judiciary, and security agencies have been escalating their campaign against human rights defenders and activists since overturn of the government in July 2021. Since then, at least 24 lawyers have been arbitrarily arrested for cases relating to freedom of opinion and expression and other activism-related charges, and most of them are still detained, while some have been sentenced to prison.
The judicial and executive measures adopted by the Tunisian authorities constitute a grave violation of the right to a fair trial as well as the right to freedom of opinion and expression, as reported by a number of Tunisian lawyers to Euro-Med Monitor.

Contract workers with Anera are latest victims of Israel’s systematic targeting of relief workers, undermining of aid distribution in Gaza
Palestinian Territory – Euro-Med Monitor expresses deep concern over Israel’s systematic and persistent targeting of humanitarian aid workers, relief organisations, and humanitarian missions in the Gaza Strip. This targeting jeopardises efforts to provide life-saving aid and tightens restrictions on efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Strip, which may constitute war crimes.
Israel has been methodically and continuously targeting humanitarian workers, including Palestinians and foreign citizens. Over 300 relief workers, most of whom are employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, have been killed by Israel during its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023.

Gaza: About 4 percent of victims of Israel’s genocide are elderly; numerous cases of execution are well-documented
Palestinian Territory – The Israeli occupation army’s recent killing of an elderly couple in the Gaza Strip and an elderly man in the West Bank constitute grave crimes against elderly Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory that require international investigation.
During the 330-day Israeli genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, 2,122 elderly men and women have been killed. This represents roughly 2% of the 107,000 elderly people who live in the Strip and roughly 4% of all Palestinian deaths there since 7 October 2023. These crimes, which have been committed hundreds of times, are unjustified and particularly cruel to this defenseless civilian group, which Israel has been targeting ever since it launched its large-scale attack on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army continues to escalate its attacks on the Gaza Strip during the polio vaccination campaign
Palestinian Territory - Israel has continued its military attacks on the Gaza Strip during its polio vaccination campaign, ignoring all calls to implement a humanitarian truce or a temporary halt to attacks during the vaccination hours.
Israeli aircraft and tanks continue to bomb the central Gaza Strip, the area where the polio vaccination campaign has begun. The campaign is a joint effort between the Palestinian Ministry of Health and the United Nations, including UNICEF, and non-governmental organisations, aiming to vaccinate about 640,000 Palestinian children under the age of 10. The campaign was launched in response to the confirmation of the first case of polio in Gaza in 25 years, contracted by a 10-month-old infant in Deir al-Balah, in the central part of the Strip. The virus was found in water samples taken in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah in late June.

As part of its ongoing genocide, Israel attacks 16 shelter centres in Gaza in a single month
Palestinian Territory - Israel has escalated its systematic policy of targeting—without warning—schools functioning as shelters for forcibly displaced civilians in the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding hundreds of them. This policy is part of the ongoing genocide that Israel has been waging against Palestinians in the Strip since 7 October 2023.
The Israeli military targeted the Halima al-Sadia School, which provides shelter to hundreds of internally displaced people in Jabalia al-Nazla, in the north of the Gaza Strip, at midnight on Saturday 7 September 2024. The school was bombed by Israeli aircraft, according to the Euro-Med Monitor field team. Four people were killed and several others were injured in the attack.

Gaza: Amid int’l silence, Israeli army kills entire families in Khan Yunis ‘safe zone’ using US-made bombs
Palestinian Territory - The Israeli army’s horrific massacre of displaced families living in ramshackle tents in a so-called “humanitarian zone” in the southern Gaza Strip is further proof that the international community’s silence during the 11-month genocide is encouraging Israel to carry out its crimes.
The latest mass killing fuelled by the international community’s refusal to act occurred in the Strip’s al-Mawasi Khan Yunis area, which the Israeli army had designated a “safe zone”. Initial investigations conducted by Euro-Med Monitor reveal that on Tuesday 10 September, after midnight, Israeli warplanes dropped three American-made MK-84 bombs on a group of displaced people sleeping in their tents in the Mawasi area. The explosions created three holes several metres deep and in diameter, burying about 20 tents with the families still inside.

Amid the ongoing genocide, Euro-Med Monitor documents the most prominent mass graves in Gaza
Palestinian Territory - Thousands of families continue to bury their children in random mass graves, a phenomenon brought on by over 11 months of systematic killings of Palestinians by Israel in every Gaza Strip governorate. The situation is worsening as a result of the Israeli occupation army’s constant targeting of people who attempt to enter these makeshift cemeteries to bury their loved ones.
Euro-Med Monitor has released an infographic design that shows the locations and dates of approximately 30 randomly established mass graves in the northern, central, and southern governorates of Gaza, containing roughly 3,000 dead victims of Israel’s genocide in the enclave. The graphic also depicts 120 random mass graves in which three or more people are buried, and which were established in the Gaza Strip between now and last October.

Israel’s deliberate blackout of the Gaza Strip for nearly a year is a tool of genocide
Palestinian Territory - Israel’s deliberate cut-off of electricity to the Gaza Strip for almost a full year now has had catastrophic effects and long-lasting humanitarian repercussions, affecting every aspect of residents’ lives. The subjection of over two million individuals to deplorable living conditions by Israel, including cutting off their electricity, is a tool of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
Cutting off electricity to a 2.3 million-person population spread over 365 square kilometres for almost a full year is a highly unprecedented measure in the history of conflicts and wars, as it is not only the product of military operations but also a political decision. Israeli officials have clearly stated that their goal is to annihilate the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Territory - In a horrifying incident that adds to the ongoing string of atrocities and serious crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory, Israeli soldiers threw the bodies of dead Palestinians from the roof of a house in Qabatiya, north of the occupied West Bank, on Thursday. This incident calls for an immediate and thorough international investigation.

Israel escalates its military attacks in Lebanon, targeting residential areas and civilians with intense raids
Geneva - The Israeli army’s escalated military attacks against civilians and residential areas in Lebanon, particularly in the South and Bekaa regions, along with the issuance of evacuation orders, raising alarm in the region. Urgent international intervention is required to prevent the massacres and other atrocities being carried out by Israel in the Gaza Strip for more than 11 months from occurring in Lebanon as well.
Israel’s army carried out over 330 raids in over 117 Lebanese towns and cities today, 23 September 2024, according to the Euro-Med Monitor field team. These raids were directed towards civilian residential areas in southern Lebanon and various areas of the Bekaa region. As a result, 274 people—including 21 children—have been killed and over 1,024 individuals—including women, children, and paramedics—have been injured as of the early afternoon hours. As of the time of writing, Israeli airstrikes are still in progress, with the frequency of shelling attacks on residential areas rising.
