Human Rights Watch, in its report released on Thursday, stated that the the Israeli authorities have caused a considerable number of forced displacement of the Palestinian people in Gaza to a level that has led to war crimes and crimes against the livelihood of humans.
This report is the latest in a series of warnings from aid groups and other international bodies about the dire humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave.
The report stated that Human Rights Watch has discovered a high level of forced displacement, which spread across the country. The report has noted that the evidence has shown that there is a systematic part of a state policy. Explaining that such an act committed against humans is a crime.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military or foreign ministry, but Israeli authorities have previously rejected such accusations and say their forces operate in compliance with international law.
The law of armed conflict forbids the forcible displacement of civilian populations from occupied territory unless necessary for the security of civilians or imperative military reasons.
The conflict, which started a year ago, has led to the invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israel after the Hamas-led gunmen attacked communities in southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people. The attack, according to the authorities in Israel, also led to the abduction of more than 250 persons from the communities.
The authorities have disclosed that since the invasion of the place by Hamas, the Israeli forces have killed more than 43,500 people in the figures that were released by the Gaza health authorities; the attack has also led to the destruction of infrastructures which has led to the displacement of several persons from the 2.3 million population, they have been said to be moving from one place to another.
For the past month, Israeli troops have moved tens of thousands of people from areas in the north of the enclave as they have desired to destroy Hamas forces, the military says have been reforming around the towns of Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun.
Human Rights Watch has hinted that the eviction of Palestinians is presumably intended to be endured in the buffer zones and security corridors, an action it said would amount to ethnic cleansing.
The Israeli military has denied seeking to create permanent buffer zones, and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Monday that Palestinians displaced from their homes in northern Gaza would be allowed to return at the end of the war.
