FEARS OVER GAZA CATASTROPHE AS BRUTAL CONFLICT ENTERS SIXTH MONTH – OHCHR PRESS
RELEASE

العربية

08 March 2024



FROM

Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights: Jeremy Laurence

LOCATION

Geneva

 

Today we are entering the sixth month of a brutal conflict that has destroyed
the lives and homes of countless Palestinians, as well as Israelis. We fear that
this already catastrophic situation may slide deeper into the abyss as many
Palestinians mark the holy month of Ramadan – a period that is meant to honour
peace and tolerance – should Israel launch its threatened military offensive
into Rafah, where 1.5 million people have been displaced in deplorable sub-human
conditions.

Any ground assault on Rafah would incur massive loss of life and would heighten
the risk of further atrocity crimes. This must not be allowed to happen. We also
fear that further Israeli restrictions on access by Palestinians to East
Jerusalem and Al Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan could further inflame tensions.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights repeats that there must be an
immediate end to this conflict, and that the killing and destruction must stop.

The hostages, who have now endured over 150 days of suffering and torment, must
be released unconditionally and returned to their distraught families.

Israel, as the occupying power, must – we repeat – fully comply with its
obligations under international humanitarian law to provide the increasingly
desperate civilian population of Gaza with the necessary food and medical
supplies, or, if it is unable to do so, ensure that the population has access to
critical life-saving humanitarian assistance commensurate with their needs.

Border crossings and corridors must be fully opened and steps must be taken to
ensure the free and secure movement of aid convoys to civilians wherever they
are located within the Gaza strip if wider starvation and needless suffering are
to be averted.

Since 7 October, parties to this conflict have paid little heed to international
law that protects human rights and governs the conduct of hostilities. This has
been a stain on the collective conscience of humanity. The laws of war are clear
and must be respected at all times and in all circumstances. Those who violate
them must be held to account.

The High Commissioner reminds all States parties that under Article 1, common to
the four Geneva Conventions, they have the obligation to respect and ensure
respect for the rules laid down by those Conventions. This obligation includes
not only taking all available steps to ensure full compliance by the parties
engaged in hostilities, but also means that States must not, through their own
policies or actions, facilitate the commission of violations of humanitarian
law.
