Israel violating international law with forced evacuations in Gaza, UN says
The United Nations Human Rights Office has accused Israel of violating international law by forcibly displacing Palestinians in Gaza under “mandatory evacuation orders”.
The Israeli army has issued what the UN described as 10 mandatory evacuation orders, covering large areas across Gaza, since it resumed its war against Hamas on March 18, ending a two-month-old ceasefire amid disputes over terms for extending it.
“These evacuations fail to comply with the requirements of international humanitarian law,” UN human rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan said in a statement on Friday.
“Israel is not taking any measures to provide accommodation for the evacuated population, nor [to] ensure that these evacuations are conducted in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition,” Al-Kheetan’s statement added.
More than half of northern Gaza appeared to be under such orders, the UN said, while those who had been newly displaced from the south of the enclave in the Rafah area and forced to go to coastal al-Mawasi were not guaranteed safety there.
“We are deeply concerned about the shrinking space for civilians in Gaza who are being forcibly displaced by the Israeli army from large swaths of territory,” it added.
