IQNA – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories described the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip as the “collective shame of the century”.

Destruction in Gaza as a result of Israeli airstrikes

 

Francesca Albanese said that “in Gaza, the collective shame of the century continues unabated and unstopped, in defiance of every norm of international law”.

In a post on X, she said Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave have been abandoned and subjected to Israeli summary executions, mass forced displacements, and other egregious abuses.

Albanese called it “a disgraceful testament to our global failure to protect basic human rights”.

“The United Nations, once a believed beacon of hope and a force for peace, [is] crumbling under the weight of this shame – and the pressure of the inaction or complicity of its most powerful member states.”

The Israeli regime has continues its brutal onslaught on the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 42,600 people, mostly women and children, and injured 99,800 others since October 2023.
