A War Without Human Rights Protecting Persons with Disabilities in Light of the Ethnic Cleansing War on the Gaza Strip

The war of destruction and killing that the Israeli Occupation has been waging for 46 days against the Gaza Strip and against all Palestinians residing in the Strip, which has been under siege for a little less than 17 years, has been escalating. This war has resulted in wide-scale destruction of civil facilities and infrastructure and in the martyrdom of a huge number of civil male and female Palestinians, which can be described as the deliberate efforts by the occupation forces in making the Strip “unlivable” now and in the future. Senior UN officials, rapporteurs of various UN committees, and senior human rights experts have described what is happening as war crimes aimed at ethnic cleansing, which may amount to crimes against humanity.
