A large plume of smoke rises over the Jenin refugee camp at dusk. Residential buildings and streetlights sit beneath the dark smoke after Israeli forces detonated another Palestinian home.

Breaking | Israeli occupation forces detonate another residential building in Jenin refugee camp.

Update | A Palestinian child is killed and 5 others injured by Israeli occupation artillery fire near the “Sanafur” junction, east of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City.

Just the idea of "wiping out a people and their memory" is depraved enough.

I am still afraid of them because, even today, a journalist was targeted by one of their missiles, leading to his martyrdom

Yes it’s a #Genocide

"The ceasefire is a lie. The occupation is still committing its genocide against the Palestinian people, the same way it has since the invasion of Palestine decades ago" #Gaza #Genocide

‘Companies must immediately suspend any operations that contribute or are directly linked to Israel’s genocide.’

‘The international community cannot afford to be complacent: states must keep up pressure on Israel to allow unfettered access to humanitarian aid, lift its unlawful blockade and end its ongoing genocide.'

'Israel’s pattern of conduct in Gaza, including the deliberate, unlawful denial of lifesaving aid to Palestinians, many of whom are injured, malnourished and at risk of serious disease, continues to threaten their survival.'

‘The ceasefire must not become a smokescreen for Israel’s ongoing genocide.'

'Failing to demonstrate that they or their government will be held accountable effectively gives them free rein to continue the genocide and commit further human rights violations in Gaza and in the West Bank including East Jerusalem.’

‘Israeli officials responsible for orchestrating, overseeing and materially committing genocide remain in power.'

‘They must halt all arms transfers to Israel until Israel’s crimes under international law cease.

They must press Israeli authorities to grant human rights monitors and journalists access to Gaza to ensure transparent reporting on the impact of Israel’s actions on conditions in Gaza.'

‘Now is not the time to ease pressure on the Israeli authorities. World leaders must demonstrate that they truly are committed to upholding their duty to prevent genocide and to ending the impunity that has fuelled decades of Israeli crimes across the Occupied Palestinian Territory.'

'The newly adopted United Nations resolution on the future of Gaza fails to include clear commitments to uphold human rights or ensure accountability for atrocities.'

' Israel must also make concerted efforts to repair critical infrastructure, restore essential services, provide adequate shelter for the displaced and ensure they can return to their homes,’ Callamard said.'

‘Israel must lift its inhumane blockade and ensure unfettered access to food, medicine, fuel, reconstruction and repair materials. '

'....Israel deliberately continues not to provide or allow necessary supplies to reach the civilian population in Gaza.’

'Agnès Callamard said: ‘Palestinians remain held within less than half of the territory of Gaza, in the areas least capable of supporting life, with humanitarian aid still severely restricted.'

'This has created circumstances that would lead to a slow death of Palestinians resulting from the lack of proper food, water, shelter, clothing or sanitation.'

'Israel continues to restrict access to critical aid and relief supplies, including medical supplies and equipment necessary to repair life-sustaining infrastructure, thus violating multiple orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ)....'

'At least 327 people, including 136 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire was announced on 9th October.'

'In fact, Israeli authorities are continuing their ruthless policies, restricting access to vital humanitarian aid and essential services, and deliberately imposing conditions calculated to physically destroy Palestinians in Gaza,’ said Callamard.'

‘Israel has inflicted devastating harm on Palestinians in Gaza through its genocide, including two years of relentless bombardment and deliberate systematic starvation.'

'Today, despite a reduction in the scale of attacks and some limited improvements, there has been no meaningful change in the conditions Israel is inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza and no evidence to indicate that Israel’s intent has changed.'

'Israel’s genocide is not over,’ said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International.'

‘The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal.

But while Israeli authorities and forces have reduced the scale of their attacks and allowed limited amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the world must not be fooled.'

'More than a month after a ceasefire was announced & all living Israeli hostages were released, Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip by deliberately inflicting life-destroying conditions, without signalling any change in their intent...'

'ISRAEL’S genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza continues unabated despite the ceasefire, says rights group Amnesty International.'
