The human rights group’s investigation claims that Israel has committed three of the five acts prohibited under the genocide convention – killings, causing serious bodily or mental harm and “deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction”.
Meanwhile, the UAE has provided a new batch of modern, fully equipped ambulances to hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The ambulances feature advanced medical technology and were supplied after the widespread destruction and malfunction of similar vehicles within the strip, state news agency Wam reported.
As part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, this initiative underscores the UAE’s commitment to supporting the healthcare sector in the enclave.
