HRW accuses Israel of ‘acts of genocide ’ for damaging water infrastructure and cutting off supplies to civilians in Gaza
The war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,208 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. The HRW report detailed what the group said was the intentional damaging of water and sanitation infrastructure, including solar panels powering treatment plants, a reservoir and a spare parts warehouse, as well as the blocking of fuel for generators.
Israel’s foreign ministry said it has “ensured water infrastructure, including the continues operation of four water pipelines and water pumping and desalination facilities, which remain operational”.Under international law, proving genocide requires evidence of specific intent, which experts say is very difficult.
Israel is facing a case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice last December, arguing that the war in Gaza breached the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention, an accusation Israel has strongly denied.
