The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has called on governments to take immediate action to address the worsening human rights and humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the escalating violence in the West Bank. In a recent statement, he highlighted the urgent need to resolve the catastrophic situation facing civilians in Gaza, where nearly 1.7 million people remain forcibly displaced and living in appalling conditions.
The High Commissioner criticized Israel for imposing unlawful restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian assistance in Gaza, as well as carrying out widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. He also expressed concern over the rising violence and targeted attacks in the West Bank, where at least 196 humanitarian workers have been killed since October.
