UN Accuses Israel of Acts of Genocide in Gaza, Israel Rejects Allegations

A UN commission alleges systematic targeting of reproductive health services in Gaza as genocidal acts, while Israel vehemently denies the claims.

A UN commission has accused Israel of committing acts of genocide in Gaza, citing attacks on reproductive health services and the destruction of key medical facilities.
The report highlights the destruction of Gaza's largest in vitro fertilization clinic, which stored thousands of embryos, as an alleged attempt to prevent Palestinian births.
The commission claims Israel imposed living conditions designed to cause physical destruction of Palestinians in Gaza, including restricting access to humanitarian aid and healthcare.
Israel has categorically rejected the allegations, calling them unfounded and accusing the UN commission of bias and reliance on unverified sources.
The conflict, which began after a deadly Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, has resulted in significant civilian casualties on both sides, with over 48,000 deaths reported in Gaza.
