Palestinian Territories Amnesty International accused Israel yesterday of committing a “livestreamed genocide” against Palestinians by forcibly displacing Gazans and creating a humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged territory.

Echoing global concern after more than 18 months of war, the United Nations’ rights chief Volker Turk meanwhile called on the international community to launch “concerted efforts” to end Israel’s total aid blockade on the Gaza Strip, in effect since early March.

Rights group Amnesty, in its annual report, said Israel was acting with “specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, thus committing genocide”.
