YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
Human Rights Watch is accusing Israel of committing acts of extermination and genocide by deliberately restricting safe water for drinking and sanitation to the Gaza Strip. The report details how Israel has cut off water and blocked fuel, food and humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip, and deliberately destroyed or damaged water and sanitation infrastructure and water repair materials. We speak to one of the report's editors, Bill Van Esveld, the acting Israel and Palestine associate director at Human Rights Watch, who describes "a clear state policy of depriving people in Gaza of water," that HRW is, for the first time in the current Israeli assault on Gaza, characterizing as a genocidal act.
