Twelve months after Hamas killed 1200 citizens in Israel and kidnapped 240 others, Israel’s offensive in Gaza continues with nearly 42,000 fatalities (not counting those buried in the rubble). In the name of the right to self-defence, Israel has systematically violated international humanitarian law by subjecting 2.3 million Palestinians to harsh attacks, continuous displacement, destruction of all social and economic infrastructure, restricting access to humanitarian aid, food, water, medical care and medicines. High numbers of humanitarian workers and journalists have also been victims by the Israeli army.
