www.amnesty.org.ukIsrael/OPT: Two months of humanitarian aid ban in Gaza is 'genocide in action' - harrowing testimonies from residentsStarvation and denial of life-saving essentials are being used as weapons of war

> In its annual report, The State of the World’s Human Rights, Amnesty International accused "Israel" of committing a "live-streamed genocide” in Gaza, citing forced mass displacement and the deliberate creation of a humanitarian catastrophe.

Amnesty charged that "Israel" acted with “specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza,” meeting the legal definition of genocide.

The report also highlighted worsening conditions in the occupied West Bank, accusing "Israel" of intensifying its apartheid regime through "unlawful killings and state-backed attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian civilians."

Amnesty condemned the international community’s inaction, saying governments "were slow even in calling for a ceasefire."

"States watched on as if powerless,” said Secretary General Agnes Callamard, "as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiping out entire multigenerational families, destroying homes, livelihoods, hospitals and schools."

“Year after year, we have warned of the dangers of human rights backsliding. But events of the past 12 months – not least Israel’s livestreamed but unheeded genocide of Palestinians in Gaza – have laid bare just how hellish the world can be for so many when the most powerful states jettison international law and disregard multilateral institutions..."

Al Jazeera · Israel carrying out ‘live-streamed genocide’ in Gaza, Amnesty saysBy Al Jazeera

Amnesty International has delivered a damning verdict: the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is "consciously cruel".

Their new report lays bare a welfare system designed to humiliate, punish, and drive vulnerable people into deeper poverty — and with planned cuts looming, the suffering is set to get even worse.

Claimants report panic attacks met with sanction threats, missed assessments leading to homelessness, and constant, grinding suspicion instead of compassion.

The DWP isn’t failing by accident — it’s cruelty by design. And unless the system is fully overhauled, millions more will be condemned to fear and destitution.
