For decades, the people of Palestine and the Occupied Territories have endured systemic human rights violations under military occupation, blockade, and apartheid conditions. From the forced displacement of families and destruction of homes, to the restriction of movement, denial of basic services, and targeting of civilians, Palestinians continue to face ongoing injustice. The latest aggression at the hands of the Israeli regime has indiscriminately targeted some of the most vulnerable, including women, children, the elderly and those with disabilities, alongside the assassination of prominent Palestinian journalists and medical staff. Civilian infrastructure, including hospital and schools, have been razed to the ground, under the guise of flushing out militant groups.
