Rabat – Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have been reportedly engaged in rape crimes against Gazan women during their ongoing raid in Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest health facility in the war-torn region.
Civilian Jamila al-hissi, who was trapped in a building near the health facility, in an interview with Al Jazeera reported that the IOF was, kidnapping, and killing women during their raid at the hospital.
“They raped women, kidnapped women, executed women, and pulled dead bodies from under the rubble to unleash their dogs on them,” she told Al Jazeera.
She said that nothing is worse than this situation.
“Is there anything more horrifying than hearing women call for help?” she added,” when we try to reach them to provide assistance, they shoot us.”.
Israel killed over 32,200 people since October 7, with the majority of victims being women and children.
Several reports highlighted women’s suffering amid IOF’s ongoing relentless campaign.
“In severely overcrowded shelters, in the streets amid the rubble, women and girls are seeking safety from airstrikes under unspeakable conditions. Yet, nowhere and no one is safe in Gaza,” one report from UN Women said this year.
Women are also further disadvantaged by gender inequality in access to supplies, services, and resources, the report added.
Reported rape crimes against Palestinian women come a few days after a new forensic analysis by Al Jazeera debunked Israel’s rape claims against Hamas.
The analysis uncovered that all claims of the mass killing and beheading of babies as well as systematic rape are false. Such claims were the major viral allegations propagated by the IOF and Israeli officials following the October 7 attack.
