Direct effects on the population

The June 13, 2026 issue addresses the destruction of residential blocks and the threat of displacement facing residents in Gaza. At its core lies the loss of homes and stability, and the resulting need for alternative housing and the continuity of essential services.

Human reality

Families in Gaza face the cumulative effects of attacks, displacement, and home destruction. Insecurity impacts their ability to work, learn, and access food and care, even when not every home is directly hit.

Obligations due

Humanitarian law does not merely declare a commitment to protect civilians; it requires concrete measures to verify targets, refrain from indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks, and enable investigations into disputed incidents.

Follow-up requirements

In the case of “Destruction of residential blocks and the threat of displacement of residents in Gaza”, human rights monitoring remains linked to the availability of accurate information about the affected people and the long-term effects, far from unsubstantiated conclusions.
