🚨 Gaza is starving
After 45 days of total Israeli blockade, famine is no longer a risk, it’s becoming a reality.

🧵A thread on the unfolding man-made catastrophe and the urgent need for international action: The Israeli blockade on Gaza has now entered its 46th day, the longest continuous restriction on aid since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign 18 months ago.

The result: Gaza is on the brink of famine.

When military dogs are weaponised for systematic abuse, who holds the leash?
Palestinian civilians in both #Gaza and the West Bank have been mauled, tortured, and terrorised by Israeli military dogs.

Here's how the Netherlands may be involved ⤵️

🚨 Mass execution of paramedics and rescue workers in Gaza

Israeli forces ambushed & executed 15 rescue workers, then buried them in a mass grave. A deliberate massacre. A war crime.

🧵A thread on what happened⤵️ 📍 23 March 2025 | Rafah, Gaza

A Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance left Rafah’s al-Hashash neighbourhood to evacuate the wounded.

It never made it back.

🧵 Netanyahu’s Hungary Visit and ICC Arrest Warrant

1️⃣ BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit Hungary on April 2—despite an active ICC arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza. This visit poses a direct challenge to international justice—and Hungary is enabling his evasion of accountability. 2️⃣ Hungary is a State Party to the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court. Under Articles 86 and 89 of the Statute, Hungary is legally bound to cooperate fully with the Court, including the arrest and surrender of any individual subject to an arrest warrant—such as Benjamin Netanyahu.

🧵The international community’s inaction regarding Israel’s heinous crimes in the #Gaza Strip over the past 18 months is a disgraceful failure.

It serves as a de facto endorsement of further massacres and genocide, facilitating the mass killing of Palestinians and the systematic destruction of their means of subsistence. Despite Israel’s excuses, the systematic patterns of mass murder, forced starvation, deliberate deprivation of essential survival resources, and destruction of #Gaza’s infrastructure are unequivocally unacceptable.

Under the UN Genocide Convention, these acts are classified as genocide and war crimes.

🧵A recent UN paper titled "More Than a Human Can Bear" uncovers harrowing accounts of sexual, reproductive, and other forms of gender-based violence committed by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians in #Gaza and the West Bank since 7 October 2023.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry documented cases of such violence against male and female detainees in over 10 military and Israel Prison Service facilities, exposing systematic sexual abuse, including rape.

In the thread are some of the report’s most chilling findings ⤵️

🧵For over 15 months, Israel has carried out an unprecedented genocide in #Gaza, systematically annihilating the population and reducing the infrastructure to rubble. While the ceasefire agreement on 19 January was meant to halt the onslaught, in the thread are 5 ways #Israel continues its genocide in Gaza⤵️

🧵Some methods of torturing Palestinians in Israeli prisons are inspired by the world's most brutal prisons. But what happens there surpasses even the most brutal prisons in history.

Here’s why ⤵️

🧵From mass displacement in the occupied #WestBank to entire neighbourhoods erased in #Gaza, Israel is systematically uprooting Palestinian communities, demolishing homes, destroying infrastructure, and preventing the return of those displaced.

This is not just an assault. It is a deliberate policy to erase Palestinian presence

A thread⤵️

🧵Since the beginning of the genocide war on the Gaza Strip, Israel has refused to cooperate with all UN bodies concerned with conducting investigations into allegations of sexual violence.

Why? ⤵️

🧵Our team in #Gaza asked children what they wish for this #Christmas. In the thread are wishes inspired by some of their answers ⤵️

🧵 A new Euro-Med Monitor investigation, conducted over several months, uncovers horrifying details of a massacre committed by the Israeli army in #Gaza City in November 2023. The attack targeted an entire residential block, killing around 70 people, and was followed by strikes on residents attempting to bury the victims.

For over a year, Israel has employed various methods to forcibly displace Palestinians from their homes in northern #Gaza, systematically targeting the area’s population to drive them out. In numerous testimonies documented by Euro-Med Monitor, displaced residents report Israeli soldiers telling them they « would never return to the north again. »
Here are 10 tactics #Israel is using to depopulate northern Gaza ⬇

🧵What the Israeli army is doing to Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

After repeatedly bombing the hospital—which is home to over 150 children, wounded, patients, and medical personnel, the Israeli army stormed the health facility & forced everyone to assemble in the courtyard. In addition to separating the men from the women and children, the occupation forces began questioning, abusing, and assaulting anyone over the age of 13, including medical personnel.

🧵Today Israel sent to Gaza a truckload of 88 dead decomposing bodies without any autopsy reports or information about their identity & how, where or when they were killed

Israel is systematically violating the human dignity of the dead & exacerbating their loved ones' suffering 2\ Gaza's Health Ministry refused to receive the container of dead unidentified bodies Israel sent, until Israeli authorities provide all necessary data for the identification of the victims & the circumstances of their death.

Gazans are humans, not nameless statistics.

🧵1/5 In light of mounting reports on #Israel’s military deploying the Hannibal directive on 7 Oct in the Gaza envelope, we urge an immediate int’l investigation to provide a full picture of what unfolded.

The more time passes, the more difficult it would be to preserve evidence! 2\5 The latest report on 7 Oct highlights that “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm. We’re talking about 100s of 30-millimetre cannon mortars & Hellfire missiles”.

🧵Since Israel's genocide in #Gaza began, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, @DrAliceJEdwards, has remained conspicuously silent on Israel's crimes against Palestinians.

In the thread are some examples of how the Rapporteur has fallen short and shown blatant bias⤵️ In an official letter sent to the state of Palestine, Edwards extensively addressed events from 7 October, including those unrelated to the capture of prisoners and hostages, such as the indiscriminate rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into Israel. However, in her letter to Israel, she did not address the massacres committed by Israel against civilians in Gaza, including indiscriminate missiles fired against civilians in Gaza.

As part of its war on the #Gaza Strip, Israel has been employing several tools that result in serious human rights violations. Among these tools are dogs.

Based on Euro-Med Monitor’s documentation, here are 6 ways the Israeli army uses dogs to carry out physical, sexual, and psychological assaults on Palestinian civilians in Gaza⤵️ According to testimonies documented by Euro-Med Monitor’s team, the most dangerous and horrifying form of using dogs was practiced against Palestinian prisoners and detainees inside Israeli prisons without any restrictions or red lines. This has escalated to the extent of using dogs to rape prisoners and detainees in front of other inmates, as part of systematic sexual violence crimes against them.

#Gaza| Israel has implemented a systematic policy of targeting civilians who are protected by int'l humanitarian law. This includes intensifying the bombing of shelter centres over the heads of the displaced people inside, as well as targeting areas designated as humanitarian zones

🧵⤵️ The Israeli military has been killing large numbers of Palestinians in the Strip for nearly 9 months now by bombing civilian targets, attacking United Nations-run shelter centres, and carrying out mass killings—each of which is a serious violation ofinternational law on its own

🚨The Israeli army's destruction of hospitals & medical facilities in northern #Gaza, and the complete shutdown of the remaining partially operational ones, amounts to a decision for mass execution of patients

🧵⤵️ With the shutdown of these hospitals, all medical facilities in northern Gaza are now out of service. There are no places left to treat the wounded or sick, Maternal and child health programms are completely halted.

Testimonies of 100 released Palestinian detainees reveal crimes of torture and inhumane and degrading treatment in Israeli detention centers. In the 🧵are 10 out of 42 forms of torture and cruel treatment we documented.

New Report➡️ euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6351
Almost all male detainees and the majority of female detainees were subjected to strip searches. Women were sometimes kept nude in front of male soldiers as they were strip searched by female soldiers. Together with verbal and physical abuse, they were threatened with rape.
