Human Rights Watch called Israel’s actions against the people of Gaza a war crime

Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of war crimes and said it is deliberately deepening the suffering of Gaza’s civilians by refusing to restore water and electricity and blocking transport and fuel.

In a statement, this organization said that deliberately obstructing relief supplies and collective punishment of civilians due to the actions of armed groups are war crimes.

Human Rights Watch added that Gaza’s infrastructure relies on the flow of electricity and potable water and trucks that enter through Israeli crossings, and that Israel has blocked these sources for the survival of Gaza’s 2.2 million residents, nearly half of whom are children, because of Hamas attacks.

This organization asked the parties involved in both sides to respect international humanitarian laws and not commit illegal attacks on civilians.

Human Rights Watch continues to demand the release of the hostages from Hamas and the Israeli government to restore the flow of electricity and water to Gaza and allow controlled fuel to enter Gaza through Rafah.
