Civil Rights Defenders is gravely alarmed by the escalating human rights violations in Gaza. The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, with extensive civilian suffering and destruction. We reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire and respect for the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2728 (2024). International legal order must be upheld without exception.

The humanitarian and human rights situation in Gaza is deeply alarming. The UN, as well as global humanitarian and human rights organisations, continue to report serious violations of international law by the Israeli authorities, including forced displacements, starvation as an act of war, killings of civilians trying to access food aid, killings of journalists and media workers and bombardments of hospitals and education centres.
