00:00A United Nations or UN Human Rights Office report on Tuesday, December 31, condemns Israeli
00:07attacks on hospitals in Gaza.
00:09The UN report highlights the severe damage to the region's health care system and raises
00:14concerns about Israel's adherence to international law.
00:17The 23-page report covered attacks from October 12, 2023 to June 30, 2024, and concluded that
00:24these attacks had destroyed Gaza's health care infrastructure, killing patients, medical
00:28staff and civilians.
00:30The report says targeting hospitals could be considered war crimes under international
00:35law.
00:36It also warns that a widespread pattern of human rights abuses against civilians could
00:40amount to crimes against humanity.
00:42Israel has consistently denied such claims.
00:45UN High Commissioner Volker Tork criticizes the attacks on health care facilities as a
00:50blatant disregard for humanitarian law, calling hospitals death traps for Palestinians.
