Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, has expressed deep concern over the inhumane and degrading treatment inflicted upon Palestinian women and girls, describing the situation on the ground in Palestine’s Gaza as "hell," in a conversation with Türkiye’s Anadolu Agency.
"We know that an estimated 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, 70 percent of them being women and children,” she said, noting that the UN had received “credible reports of Palestinian women being extrajudicially and summarily executed together with children and other family members.”
"Palestinian women and children have been subjected to these egregious crimes against humanity and war crimes because they are Palestinian, but also because they are women," she added.
"We know of thousands of women who have been widowed. Two mothers are killed every hour. Countless children are orphaned, becoming motherless and fatherless," she continued.
Already faced with a lack of access to basic sanitation needs and healthcare, Palestinian women have also reported that they have been sexual assaulted, raped and degraded by Israeli forces, including being stripped naked, photographed and subjected to invasive searches during detention in Gaza.
Alsalem stated that out of 3,000 Palestinians detained in Gaza between October 7 and December 31, 2023, approximately 200 were estimated to be women and girls, while 147 of the 3,700 Palestinians detained in the occupied West Bank were women and 245 were children.
