The UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanes, has warned that the number of people killed by Israeli attacks in the Gaza Stripcould increase tenfold. The Gaza authorities have counted nearly 65,000 victims, but the United Nations Representative has indicated that there could be at least 680,000, 75% of whom are women and children.
"According to some academics and scientists, the actual death toll will be difficult to prove or deny if access to Palestinian territory remains prohibited," he explained at a press conference in Geneva.
According to Albanese, if confirmed, 380,000 victims would be under the age of five. 1,581 victims were health workers, 252 journalists and 346 United Nations workers.
He has also denounced thearrest of 10,000 Palestinians, mostly "arbitrarily", and accused the Israeli Armed Forces of "starving, torturing and raping prisoners."
Albanes has reported that 85% of the Gaza Strip is destroyed and the situation in the West Bank is not good either. "More than 1,000 Palestinians, including 212 children, have been killed in the last 710 days. 1,600 attacks have been recorded, 22% more than in previous years in areas inhabited by Palestinians. "
He has also claimed that 40,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced. "Annexations continue unabated," he explained at a press conference.
"Trauma and pain will last for generations. Meanwhile, too many states continue to ignore, normalize suffering, and take advantage of suffering. Arms trade and diplomatic relations with Israel continue. And that's not morally correct, it's also illegal. "
"The genocide in Gaza will go down in history."
Albanes has also said that "the genocide in Gaza will go down in history": "This genocide is something different, clearly instigated, cynically denied and ruthlessly supported; it is used as a weapon and those who oppose it are silenced, persecuted, criminalized and insulted," he has declared.
