Israeli forces killed over 2,500 Palestinians every month since ICJ ruling

On January 26, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said it found it “plausible” that Israel committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention.

The ICJ ordered Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.

Back in January, the death toll in Gaza stood at 26,083 people killed with more than 64,400 people wounded.

Since then, Israeli forces have killed another 12,630 people and wounded more than 24,600 others. Which means more than 2,500 Palestinians have been killed every month in the past five months.

Israeli forces have continued to hit UN-run facilities sheltering civilians. UNRWA, the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, says 70 per cent of its schools in Gaza have been bombed, and that the vast majority of them, 95pc, were being used as displacement shelters at the time they were attacked.
