Euro-Med: Israel’s displacement orders are a “crime against humanity”

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has accused the Israeli occupation army of deliberately exposing the population in Gaza to coercive living conditions that lead them to actual death as part of its ongoing genocidal war on the coastal enclave.

“The forced displacement orders that were issued by the Israeli army in the north of Rafah and south of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, the systematic expulsion of residents from their homes and places of residence, the confinement of hundreds of thousands of them in limited geographical areas that are constantly shrunk, and their exposure to deliberate targeting from air, land and sea reflect Israel’s persistence in committing the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip for the 295th consecutive day,” Euro-Med said in a statement on Saturday.

Euro-Med explained that the evacuation orders that were issued by Israeli forces on Saturday morning in different neighborhoods of Khan Yunis are “in fact forced displacement orders that constitute a crime against humanity according to the Rome Statute.”

“The recent forced displacement operation is part of the largest mass forced displacement campaign that has so far affected about 2,000,000 people in the Gaza Strip, most of them forcibly displaced multiple times,” Euro-Med underlined.

Euro-Med called anew for international action to stop Israel’s genocide and all its war crimes in Gaza, protect the civilians there, ensure its compliance with the international law and the International Court of Justice’s orders, and impose effective sanctions on it.
