Forced Displacement of Palestinians to Southern Gaza Amid Heavy Bombing — A Clear Violation of International Law
The Israeli army has declared a decision to forcibly relocate Palestinians from their homes to southern Gaza, where civilians are being settled in temporary tents under heavy bombardment of their cities.
This measure forces families to abandon their homes and basic sources of stability under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions, placing civilians — including women and children — in immediate danger.
Forced displacement of civilian populations constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law, which prohibits the transfer of civilians by force and obliges the protection of civilian infrastructure.
We call on the international community to intervene urgently to ensure the protection of civilians, provide safe shelter, and prevent the use of displacement as a tool of warfare or political pressure.
