What are the conflicting perspectives regarding the use of schools and civilian facilities in Gaza?: The Israeli military claims that Hamas uses schools and civilian facilities as cover for its operations, while the UN agencies highlight the devastating impact on civilians and the insufficient humanitarian aid.
What are the main findings of the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) report on civilian casualties in Gaza?: The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) report found that nearly 70% of the fatalities in Gaza during the first six months of the conflict were women and children, indicating a systematic violation of international humanitarian law by the Israeli military.
What fundamental principles of international humanitarian law are highlighted as violated in the UN reports?: The OHCHR report emphasizes that the high number of civilian casualties, particularly women and children killed in residential areas, points to a failure to comply with international humanitarian law's principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack.
