The report deals in particular with what has happened in the occupied Palestinian territories. The heartbreaking story of five-year-old Hind Rajab went around the world this winter. The incident is specifically mentioned in the UN report as one of the most serious cases. – Come and get me! – Will you come and pick me up? The audio recording from 29 January was the last the world heard from the five-year-old girl. When the little girl calls the Red Crescent, she is sitting in a car surrounded by six dead family members. Two ambulance workers who came to collect her were also killed. So did Hind. The commission believes there are good reasons to establish that the Israeli army operated in the area and is responsible for killing the family of seven, shelling the ambulance and killing the two ambulance workers. The ambulance workers are two of several who are said to have been attacked during the war. The report states that 113 ambulances have been attacked and at least 61 have been damaged, according to the commission’s count in mid-July. There are three people who form the commission that was established by the UN Human Rights Council in May 2021. – Political agenda against Israel Israel has previously accused the commission of “systematic anti-Israel discrimination” when they rejected the conclusions of the report from June. It too accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity in Gaza. – The commission of inquiry has once again proven that its actions serve a narrow political agenda against Israel, Israel’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Meirav Ellon Shahar, said at the time. There have so far been no known reactions from Israel following the latest report on 10 October. news has made several attempts to get a response from the Israeli embassy in Norway. It has not been possible to get an answer to the criticism against Israel. Both sides in the war are accused of torture, sexual violence and gender-based violence. In the previous UN report from the commission in June, the UN investigators also concluded that Palestinian groups have committed war crimes. – Deliberately to destroy the health system The Commission believes that “Israeli security forces have deliberately killed, wounded, arrested, detained and tortured medical personnel.” – Israel has carried out a deliberate policy to destroy the health system in Gaza as part of a larger attack on Gaza, says the conclusion, which was published at the same time as the report.

The destruction of health facilities creates significant and long-term harmful effects on the civilian population, she says. – Children in particular have borne the brunt of these attacks, and they suffer both directly and indirectly after the collapse of the healthcare system, says Pillay.
