UN Committee on Palestinian Rights warns that Israeli attack on Gaza has “hallmarks of genocide”.

On Monday, the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process warned the Security Council that conditions in Gaza “are among the worst we have seen during the entire war and will not improve.” The warning came as Sri Lanka’s UN ambassador released an annual report of the UN Special Commission on Palestinian Human Rights.

Peter Mohan Maithri Pieris: “This year’s report examines the massive civilian casualties and life-threatening conditions deliberately imposed on Palestinians in Gaza. Our findings conclude that Israeli war methods match the characteristics of genocide.”
