- Ongoing and intensifying genocide

- Alarming rates of killing, including women and children

- Worst humanitarian crisis in over 50 years

- Systematic targeting of hospitals and medical facilities

- Mass graves uncovered, evidencing Israeli massacres

- Intensified attacks in the north, leaving displaced Palestinians with no safe haven
