The Euro-Med report indicated that Israel did not stop its massacre in Gaza contrary to the narrative put forth by the Israeli legal team before the ICJ in an attempt to refute the charge of genocide.
At the ICJ, Israel asserted that it does not target civilians or civilian-related objects in the Gaza Strip, has slowed down military activities and is eager to expand humanitarian aid to the fullest extent of its capacity.
Israel also claimed before the court that it supports rather than interferes with medical personnels’, and has no intention of forcibly displacing Gaza’s population.
However, the report by Euro-Med casts doubt on the coherence between Israel’s assertions before the ICJ and the actual events that transpired in the Gaza Strip between January 12 and 18.
According to Euro-Med, the Israeli army has killed 1,018 people in just seven days, including 208 women and at least 390 children, at a rate of 145 per day.
The figure was only of the dead bodies taken to hospitals in Gaza.
It estimates that at least the bodies of 15 people per day were either not recovered or buried in makeshift graves.
Five civilians, two of whom were women, were buried on the 17th and 18th of January in a school sheltering displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip, east of Khan Yunis.
A total of 1,934 more people were injured during the Israeli attacks, 70% of whom were women and children, the report added.
According to Euro-Med, some of the Israeli attacks targeted homes, tents, and chalets that housed displaced people in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, which has been designated by the Israeli army as a safe area.
