![]() ![]() Until March, only first-degree relatives - parents and siblings - had their permits to enter Israel and occupied Jerusalem revoked as punishment for alleged terrorism by a close family member. Draconian measures adopted recently by Israel's security cabinet are to be extended to punish the cousins and grandparents of Palestinians branded as terrorists by the apartheid state. Over 1,100 Palestinians will have their entry permits revoked in Israel's latest escalation of its unlawful collective punishment.

Repeated military assaults and the decade-long Israeli blockade deny and disrupt access to food, healthcare, education, and safe spaces, amounting to collective punishment against Palestinians in Gaza, prohibited under the Fourth Geneva Convention.įor children in Gaza, survival itself is a challenge. Ten years of 'chronic electricity deficit' have left Gaza's remaining hospitals operating with little power, causing reduced capacity and treatment delays. In June 2017, at the request of the Palestinian Authority, Israel drastically reduced its power supply by 40 percent, plunging the population into approximately 20 hours of darkness a day. Repeated Israeli bombardments have severely damaged Gaza’s sole power plant, causing frequent and lasting blackouts. Displaced Gazan children are exposed to nearly every kind of human rights risk, including poor water and sanitation conditions, weather-related risks, psychological distress, and in some cases, death. Israeli blockade restrictions on building materials have slowed reconstruction efforts and around 40,000 individuals still live in temporary, substandard shelters. The 50-day Israeli military assault over the summer of 2014 killed 547 children, 535 as a direct result of Israeli attacks, and left an unprecedented 22,000 Palestinian homes uninhabitable. Israel’s 10-year military siege of the tiny coastal enclave and repeated Israeli military offensives have trapped Palestinians in dire conditions. An entirely man-made humanitarian crisis faces the nearly 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza, 43 percent of whom are under 15 years old. ![]()
