UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem said Thursday in Geneva that "Israel" is using what she described as “reproductive violence as a genocidal tool” against Palestinians.

She explained that by targeting Palestinian women’s ability to give birth, "Israel" is seeking to alter the region’s demographic makeup in a manner consistent with the UN Genocide Convention’s definition of intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a protected group.

As of now, Israeli aggression has resulted in over 56,000 deaths and more than 132,000 injuries among Palestinians in Gaza.

Among the victims are the most innocent: 17,121 children, ranging in age from 17 years to newborns who were martyred before living even a full day, as of June 15, 2025, according to Gaza's Government Media Office.

Mothers, too, are falling in horrific numbers. A total of 9,126 women have been killed since the start of the aggression, many of them while shielding their children or seeking refuge in makeshift shelters that have become death traps, according to the office.
