Palestine women being raped by Israeli armed forces

Published:

By male Israeli soldiers, Gazan women and girls are being stripped naked and sexually assaulted.

United Nations specialists issued a warning Friday that Palestinian women and children who are being held in Israeli detention are “being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers,” that they are being raped, and that they are “allegedly kept in a cage in the rain and cold, without food.”

In an effort to raise awareness, the members of the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council issued the following statement: “We are shocked by reports of the deliberate targeting and extrajudicial killing of Palestinian women and children in places where they sought refuge or while fleeing.” When they were killed by the Israeli army or forces linked with it, it was alleged that some of them were holding white strips of fabric.

As well as being severely beaten, a large number of Palestinian women and girls in Gaza have reportedly been exposed to inhumane and degrading treatment. They have also been refused menstrual pads, food, and medicine.
