The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports that "Israel" has been deliberately depriving the Gaza Strip of water, an act that constitutes a war crime and a form of genocide.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor stated, in their latest report, that the city of Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip are facing a horrific tragedy due to the catastrophic shortage of drinking water. The Israeli occupation has destroyed all local water sources and denied Palestinian people in Gaza access to external sources. This act, according to Euro-Med, constitutes an actual death sentence.

The report called Gaza's deprivation of water a war crime and a form of genocide committed by "Israel" against the civilian population in the Strip since October 7.

"Palestinian deaths constitute the highest rate of civilian casualties worldwide in the 21st century," according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

Moreover, the report highlighted the alarming spread of thirst in the regions of Gaza City and its northern areas. This is a consequence of the water supply disruptions to the Gaza Strip, along with the systematic and deliberate Israeli targeting of wells, water tanks, and other water sources.

Euro-Med: On day 100, +100,000 Palestinians lost, wounded

Around 100,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been killed, reported missing, or wounded since the beginning of "Israel's" genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported on Sunday.

According to the report, as of January 13, 2024, at least 31,497 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, out of whom 92% are civilians (28,951 people). Among those Palestinians were 12,345 children, 6,471 women, 295 health personnel, 41 civil defense personnel, and 113 journalists. Additionally, 61,079 individuals have been injured, many critically.

Euro-Med accused "Israel" of violating international humanitarian law, emphasizing that property damage and destruction for preventive or deterrent purposes, even for military goals, is forbidden under international law.

The monitor included missing persons and those presumed dead due to prolonged entrapment under debris in its figures.
