"The report, released by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, found that "such actions deliberately inflicted conditions of life on the Palestinians in Gaza calculated to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in Gaza, which is an underlying act of genocide." Earlier this month, on September 16, the UN concluded that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza."
"The commission's report found that Israel "extensively and systematically demolished civilian infrastructure in the corridors and buffer zone and continuously enlarged areas under their control reaching 75 percent of the Gaza Strip by July 2025." Since October 2023, Israel has decimated Gaza, destroying schools, universities, homes, and hospitals, and forcibly displacing about 90 percent of the population. The UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has declared famine in Gaza, which UN Secretary-General António Guterres called "a man-made disaster, a moral indictment - and a failure of humanity itself.""
An Independent International Commission of Inquiry determined Israel deliberately deprived Palestinians in Gaza of resources indispensable for survival and inflicted conditions of life calculated to destroy Palestinians in whole or in part. Israeli forces extensively and systematically demolished civilian infrastructure, expanding control to about 75 percent of the Gaza Strip by July 2025, and destroyed schools, universities, homes, and hospitals. Forcible displacement uprooted roughly 90 percent of Gaza's population and the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification declared famine in Gaza. Secretary-General António Guterres called it "a man-made disaster, a moral indictment - and a failure of humanity itself," while some Israeli officials framed Gaza's destruction as an economic opportunity.
