Amnesty Says Israeli Genocide in Gaza Persists Despite Ceasefire

The rights group cites aid blockages, crippled infrastructure, rising disease risks, fresh civilian deaths as evidence.

Overview

  • Amnesty International’s new briefing asserts that Israeli authorities continue to commit genocide in Gaza despite a US-brokered truce that took effect on 10 October.
  • The group reports at least 327 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, while Gaza’s health ministry puts the post-truce toll at 352 and the overall death count at about 69,799.
  • Amnesty says Israel is violating International Court of Justice orders by restricting humanitarian access and blocking materials needed to repair life‑sustaining infrastructure and clear unexploded ordnance and contaminated rubble.
  • The briefing describes ongoing deprivation, including severe limits on supplies, displacement, curtailed access to farmland and the sea, and Israeli military deployment across roughly 54–58% of the Strip.
  • A UN commission concluded in September that genocide is occurring in Gaza, Israel rejects the allegation, and Amnesty criticizes moves such as Germany easing some arms‑export restrictions and a halted EU trade‑suspension vote.
