BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces have killed nearly 2,300 Palestinians and injured 7,700 in Gaza over the last five years, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Thursday.
Some 27 percent of the fatalities in Gaza were women and children, the UN agency said in a report highlighting the effects of Israel's blockade.
The land, sea and air blockade of Gaza entered its sixth year on Thursday.
Under the blockade, exports have dropped to less than 3 percent of 2006 levels.
In just these findings of the UN addressed in the above 4 paragraphs, we see multiple war crimes of Israel identified, an illegal Blockade of Gaza that is collective punishment and a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention, substantial unlawful killings of civilians that include women and children (over one fourth of those killed fall in this category), substantial unlawful attacks on a civilian population in Gaza that are collective punishment and have injured 7700 in Gaza and slaughtered nearly 2300 in Gaza.
