Gaza: The UN Warns of the Danger of a New Nakba

Sure! Here’s the translation:

The UN Special Committee on Israeli Practices in the Occupied Territories has issued a serious warning following its annual mission in Amman, stating that the current situation could be likened to another Nakba. The organization has condemned Israel for continuing to inflict “unimaginable suffering” on the inhabitants of the occupied territories while advancing its land confiscation efforts in a colonial drive.

During its visits, the Committee heard testimonies evidencing how the policies of the Israeli government are provoking an atmosphere of extreme violence, which ranges from mass killings to forced disappearances and ethnic cleansing. Furthermore, they noted that the use of torture and other cruel and inhuman treatments, including sexual violence, has become a systematic practice in prisons and detention camps under Israeli control.

The organization expressed that the methods employed by Israeli forces have a clear objective: to humiliate the population, starting from harassment that escalates to sexual abuse. This violence is exacerbated in the context of the severe blockade on Gaza, where access to humanitarian aid is severely restricted, leading the population into a state of humanitarian disaster.

The Committee’s report also criticizes Israel’s lack of response to requests for consultation, reflecting a disregard for international law and its obligations as a UN member state. In its document, the Committee calls for an end to the occupation and urges the international community to exert political and economic pressure on the Israeli government.

Additionally, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has emphasized the urgency of ensuring immediate humanitarian access and a lasting ceasefire. The disruption of food aid is driving the civilian population toward an imminent risk of famine and disease.

The combination of food shortages and the destruction of vital infrastructure is threatening the lives of thousands of people, prompting the Committee to call for the removal of barriers to humanitarian access and the unconditional delivery of assistance. The international community is urged to act to end these human rights violations and prevent war crimes and crimes against humanity.
