Israel was accused of genocide as thousands of Palestinian families fled Gaza City to escape a relentless aerial assault.
A report by the United Nations claims that the country's actions meet the criteria set down for defining the act and that it is 'clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza'.
Almost 65,000 people have lost their lives since Israel began its response to the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023 – which killed 1,200 and saw 251 taken hostage.
The UN cited the death toll, which includes tens of thousands of women and children, the collapse in sanitary and healthcare systems, and a famine.
Nine out of ten homes have been destroyed and the vast majority of the three million population have been forced to flee.
