The horrific reality for people of #Gaza & #Israel since 7 October 2023 detailed in @UNHumanRights report.
Close to 70% of those killed in Gaza are children & women.
Unprecedented violations of IHL give rise to concerns of atrocity crimes. The violence must stop immediately.

2 weeks of Israel pounding Gaza:
- 4385 Palestinians killed, 60 % kids (1756) & women (967)—local authorities
-~1.4 million displaced
-~30% of homes destroyed/damaged
- Electricity, water, food, meds cut
Whatever Israel says, it's waging war on ppl of Gaza. When is enough enough?
