  • A UN investigation found that Israel carried out genocidal acts in Gaza through the systematic destruction of sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities.

The article discusses a report by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, who concluded that Israel's actions against Palestinian reproductive health amount to genocide. The report highlights that Israel's policies and military actions have severely restricted access to reproductive and sexual health services for Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. These restrictions include blockades, movement restrictions, and attacks on healthcare facilities, which have led to increased maternal and infant mortality rates, miscarriages, and complications during childbirth. Albanese argues that these systematic attacks on reproductive health are part of a broader strategy to control and diminish the Palestinian population, fitting the legal definition of genocide under international law. The report calls for international intervention to address these human rights violations and to ensure accountability for the ongoing crisis.
