Gaza storm-related deaths caused by Israel’s genocidal policy: Amnesty

Amnesty International says recent deaths in Gaza linked to winter storms that flooded tent encampments and brought down damaged buildings cannot be blamed solely on bad weather.

Instead, “they are the foreseeable consequences of Israel’s ongoing genocide and deliberate policy of blocking the entry of shelter and repair materials for the displaced,” said Erika Guevara Rosas, the group’s senior director for research, advocacy, policy and campaigns.

Amnesty noted that Israel has allowed only “extremely limited” humanitarian supplies into Gaza despite the ceasefire outlining deliveries of 600 truckloads of aid per day.

As a result, Palestinians are living “in extreme deprivation and amidst complete destruction”, the rights group said.

“This is further indication that Israeli authorities are continuing to deliberately inflict on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction, an act prohibited under the Genocide Convention,” Amnesty said.
