Recovery of Three Siblings’ Bodies in Gaza After 44 Days — A Possible War Crime

Recovery of Three Siblings’ Bodies in Gaza After 44 Days — A Possible War Crime

The bodies of three siblings were recently recovered in Gaza, 44 days after their home was destroyed in an airstrike.

This incident is part of a series of attacks targeting residential buildings, resulting in the deaths of children and entire families — a clear breach of international humanitarian law, which prohibits the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Legal assessments indicate that such actions may be classified as “war crimes” under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which protects civilians from deliberate attacks.

There is an urgent need for international efforts to document these incidents, ensure accountability, and protect civilians from ongoing violations.
