Tel Aviv: Hamas terrorists attacked a part of Israel on October 7, 2023 last year and killed women, children and old people present there. Some such incidents were seen that Hamas terrorists burnt the entire family alive. According to the report, in this attack, Hamas killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took 250 people hostage to the Gaza Strip.
After this, the Prime Minister of Israel had directly said that this war will not stop until Hamas is finished, no matter what the cost and according to its pledge, Israel demolished every Hamas hideout, every big commander was killed. But the people living in the Gaza Strip are also facing the consequences of Hamas’ actions.
About 70 percent women and children killed in Gaza war
The United Nations Rights Office says that about 70 percent women and children have been killed in the Gaza war and called it a violation of the basic principles of international humanitarian law. The Israeli army is fighting Hamas terrorists. The UN’s numbers since the start of the war include only the deaths it has managed to verify from three sources, and the count continues.
The 8,119 victims verified are far below the more than 43,000 figure provided by Palestinian health officials for the 13-month-old war. The US, Britain, Israel and several other countries have declared Hamas a terrorist organisation.
International humanitarian law is being violated – UN
At the same time, the UN analysis supports the Palestinian claim that a large number of women and children were killed in the Israel-Hamas war. The findings “indicate systematic violations of basic principles of international humanitarian law, including discrimination and proportionality,” the UN rights office said in a statement accompanying the 32-page report.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said that it is necessary that there should be a proper reckoning with the allegations of serious violations of international law through credible and impartial judicial bodies and in the meantime, all relevant information and evidence should be collected and preserved.
Qatar distanced itself from ceasefire efforts in Gaza
Qatar has distanced itself from ceasefire efforts in Gaza, and has also asked the Palestinian organization Hamas to close its Doha office. Qatar has done this because of Hamas’s unwillingness to release Israeli hostages in Gaza and its stubborn stance in ceasefire talks.
Hamas officials have been allowed to operate in Qatar since 2012. Qatar has shown this tough stance at the behest of the US. Qatar was trying to bring about a ceasefire along with the US and Egypt a few weeks after the Israeli attack began in Gaza.
