Palestinians in Gaza Now Have Less Living Space Than Guantanamo Detainees Amid Israeli Genocide: Euro-Med Monitor
Gaza (Quds News Network)- After 21 months of relentless Israeli genocide, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are crammed into a fraction of their land, living with “less personal space than detainees at Guantanamo,” according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. In a statement on Tuesday, the Euro-Med Monitor said that “each person in Gaza now has just 24 m² – about the space of a Guantanamo cell. But these aren’t prisoners. They’re civilians trapped in tents, rubble, and sewage, under siege and fire.” The Monitor added that Israel has forced 2.3 million Palestinians into 15% of Gaza, just 55 km².” “Population density hits 47,700/km² in al-Mawasi. No place on Earth is this crowded. Families live without power, drink foul water, and wade through sewage. Heat, flies, and disease, dengue, diarrhoea, run rampant. This isn't evacuation. It’s destruction.” According to the Monitor, 92% of homes destroyed by Israel, 80% of schools damaged, 90% of hospitals damaged, and entire areas erased: Displacement is the plan,” adding under Article 49 of the Geneva Convention, forced civilian transfer is banned, unless for their safety. “Israel's displacements, without safety, shelter, or return, are a war crime.” “Gaza's people aren't being relocated. They're being erased.” The United Nations raised the alarm over continued mass displacement in the Gaza Strip, noting that more than 700,000 people have been uprooted since Israel broke the ceasefire in March. “Yesterday, Israeli authorities issued another displacement order for parts of Khan Younis for the second time in two days. Our colleagues estimate that more than 50,000 people are in the area slated for displacement,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at a news conference on Monday. “We again clearly condemn the killing of all civilians,” he said, adding “one out of every three people has not eaten for days in Gaza, placing more people at risk of starvation”. Calling on Israel to open all crossings to facilitate aid distribution inside the enclave, Dujarric stressed “for the fourth straight month now the Israeli authorities have not allowed any fuel to enter Gaza”. “Fuel is a lifeline in Gaza, and Israeli authorities must allow this commodity to enter without any further delay.”
