It should prompt states around to the world to act accordingly, including imposing sanctions on those responsible & halting arm sales.

Israel blocks entry of blankets, clothes and shoes amid cold weather, intensifying Gaza’s catastrophic humanitarian crisis
 
Palestinian Territory - Despite the advent of a harsh winter and dire humanitarian circumstances, Israel continues to prevent blankets, clothing, and shoes—including necessities for children—from entering the Gaza Strip. Israel has been blocking the entry of these items into the besieged enclave for over a year now.
 
As the second winter of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip begins, Palestinians are suffering from a severe lack of clothing and shoes, which have been banned from entering the Strip since the start of the genocide. The only exceptions are a small number of supplies that are allowed in as part of humanitarian aid and are given to a small percentage of the roughly two million displaced people in the enclave.

Tunisia| Authorities cement criminalisation of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression through repression, arbitrary arrests

The persistent escalation of the campaign to suppress the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression in Tunisia is deeply alarming, particularly as Tunisian authorities continue to criminalise these fundamental rights by detaining and prosecuting activists and demonstrators.

The ongoing restrictions on the right to demonstrate in Tunisia, whether related to political or trade union issues or broader public freedoms, are amplifying concerns.

Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue despite ceasefire agreement
 
Beirut – Israel’s ongoing violations of its ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, despite it coming into effect at dawn on Wednesday 27 November 2024, raise grave concerns.
 
Israel had violated the ceasefire agreement 18 times in southern Lebanon as of the evening of Thursday 28 November, including conducting an airstrike in the Bisariyeh area of Sidon and shelling border villages with artillery, resulting in the injury of two people in the town of Markaba.
 
The Israeli army escalated its attacks on Lebanese territory on Sunday 1 December, particularly the towns along the border, increasing the number of Israeli violations of the ceasefire to at least 62.

Three years ago, we produced a video featuring some of Euro-Med Monitor’s team members, including our team from #Gaza. Today, we are re-releasing the same video, but with slight edits on screen that reflect the immense changes on the ground—showing what happened to the team members who appeared in the video amidst the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

70,000 Palestinians trapped in northern Gaza face starvation, extermination in one of the largest genocidal campaigns in modern history
 
Palestinian Territory - Nearly 70,000 Palestinians have been trapped for two months without access to food or medicine, as Israeli occupation forces continue to pursue them throughout the northern Gaza Strip. This ongoing situation has resulted in numerous deaths and forced displacements in what many consider one of the most horrific campaigns of genocide in modern history.
 
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has received alarming reports about the dire situation facing the nearly 70,000 Palestinians who are trapped in the northern Strip. This follows the displacement of more than 150,000 people by the Israeli army since the onset of its most recent military operation in the north on 5 October 2024.  Euro-Med Monitor notes that those who remain besieged are experiencing severe famine, as they have run out of all types of food and lack access to clean water. Many have gone days without eating or drinking anything. Meanwhile, Israeli bombings and other military operations continue, targeting shelters as well as what remains of previously destroyed homes.

Despite the ceasefire agreement between Israel and #Lebanon coming into effect, the compounded tragedy caused by the military assault will persist for years

North Gaza: Israel destroys the last collapsing hospital to complete forced displacement crime
 
Palestinian territory - Israel is systematically closing hospitals in northern Gaza through direct military targeting, a suffocating siege, and the killing, injuring, and arresting of patients, wounded individuals, and medical personnel. This is part of an ongoing crime of forced displacement against all Palestinian residents of northern Gaza.
 
Early this morning, Israeli occupation forces resumed military assaults on civilians in Beit Lahia, conducting deadly raids on homes and streets before encircling Kamal Adwan Hospital, which remains partially operational, along with two other hospitals in northern Gaza.

They have endured 14 months of systematic starvation, a strategy designed to force them out of northern #Gaza and into the south, where aid is only partially allowed.

Syria: Transitional phase requires respect for int’l law, establishment of community reconciliation mechanisms to achieve justice

It is necessary that Syria attain transitional justice and uphold the rights of all people and groups who have endured numerous grave abuses over the years, particularly since 2011 and during the more than 13-year-long conflict.

During the internal conflict that ensued after the popular revolution, Syrians experienced grave violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law. The Syrian government committed war crimes and crimes against humanity against Syrians, such as torture, murder, persecution, and enforced disappearance, both inside and outside Syrian prisons, and created an unparalleled humanitarian crisis for millions of Syrian refugees worldwide.

Israeli army systematically targets medical teams in effort to destroy Palestinian life in northern Gaza
 
Palestinian Territory - As part of its genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Israel routinely targets medical teams in the north in an effort to destroy the health system and impose intolerable living conditions on civilians while denying them access to life-saving care.
 
The Israeli occupation army targeted Dr Saeed Joda today, on the afternoon of Thursday 12 December, as he was travelling from Kamal Adwan Hospital to Al-Awda Hospital to treat patients. He was killed when a Quadcopter fired at him, striking him in the head and demonstrating that his killing was premeditated and deliberate, especially given that he was the only orthopaedic physician in the northern Gaza Strip.

Sudan: 2024, a deadly year amid complete international impunity

The year 2024 has been catastrophic for the Sudanese people, marked by a sharp escalation in crimes and violations against civilians in areas affected by armed conflict. The ongoing war, now in its 19th month, has caused a severe deterioration in humanitarian conditions, representing a blatant violation of international law.

In conflict areas across Sudan, particularly Darfur and Kordofan, civilians have been subjected to field executions, forced displacement, and starvation. Perpetrators have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity amid ongoing international silence, enabling the continuation of these violations, worsening the humanitarian crisis, and deepening the suffering of millions.
