UN Human Rights Chief Condemns West Bank and Gaza Conditions

Volker Turk highlights severe human rights violations and escalating violence in the occupied territories.

The West Bank, including East Jerusalem, faces a rapidly worsening human rights situation, according to UN reports.
Since October, 528 Palestinians, including 133 children, have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank.
In the same period, 23 Israelis have died in clashes with Palestinians in the West Bank and Israel.
The Gaza Strip endures immense suffering and destruction, with over 37,000 people killed since the conflict began.
Turk criticizes both Israeli military actions and Palestinian armed groups for violating international humanitarian laws.
