Geneva, January 4 (RHC)-- A Geneva-based monitor group cites horrendous crimes committed by Israel’s military against Palestinians during the regime. The move to forcibly evacuate the hospital comes amid a wider expansion of Israeli military operations in northern Gaza, including attacks on nearby medical facilities.
The Indonesian Hospital is one of the Gaza Strip's few still partially functioning hospitals, on its northern edge, an area that has been under intense Israeli military pressure for nearly three months.
UN experts on Thursday denounced Israel's raid on an embattled hospital in northern Gaza, demanding an end to the "blatant assault" on health rights in the besieged Palestinian territory.
Reiterating charges that Israel is committing "genocide" in Gaza, two independent United Nations rights experts said they were "horrified" by the raid last Friday on Kamal Adwan, northern Gaza's last functioning major hospital.
"For well over a year into the genocide, Israel's blatant assault on the right to health in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory is plumbing new depths of impunity," the experts said.
In November, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former war minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
The Israeli military campaign began in October 2023. Since then, nearly 45,600 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children.
