Article 18 of the 4th Geneva Convention stipulates: “Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the parties to the conflict”. Yet, in the 48 hours since the Directors-General of World Health Organization (WHO) and Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) addressed the Security Council, warning of a health catastrophe in the besieged Gaza Strip and appealing for a ceasefire and protection of civilians and civilian objects, including healthcare sites, Israel has attacked more hospitals and killed more health workers, alongside other civilians.

The recent Israeli large-scale aggression on Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip severely impacted the already-excruciating life conditions of women and girls.

For eighteen days, the world has watched Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of the Gaza Strip, and for eighteen days the world has allowed the horror to carry on – with full and open support by some – against the besieged Palestinian civilians, allowing the death, destruction and trauma to reach catastrophic levels.
