UN Report: Israeli Weapons Cause High Number of Casualties in Gaza
A report by the UN Human Rights Office stated that “Israel’s complete blockade of Gaza, the denial of aid entry, and the repeated mass displacement have caused unprecedented levels of killing, starvation, and disease.”
The report explained that the high number of casualties in each attack in Gaza is primarily due to “Israel’s use of weapons with wide-area effects in densely populated areas.”
