- United Nations human rights report raises concerns
- The report reveals disturbing accounts
- The report documents the experiences of Israeli hostages
A recent report from the United Nations human rights office raises concerns about the treatment of Palestinians detained by Israel since the Gaza conflict began.
The report reveals disturbing accounts from detainees, including men, women, and children, who describe being held in inhumane conditions, stripped naked for extended periods, and forced to wear only diapers.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned the alleged abuses, suggesting that Israeli authorities may have committed “appalling acts” such as waterboarding and using dogs to intimidate detainees.
The report highlights the prolonged detention of individuals without charge, access to legal counsel, or decent living conditions.
In addition, the report documents the experiences of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, who reported suffering from inadequate food and water, as well as physical abuse.
The findings emphasize the need for humane treatment and respect for human rights amidst the ongoing conflict.
