Al-Dameer: 93 Palestinians, including 13 children and 5 women, killed in March
Al-Dameer Association for Human Rights – Gaza reports that Israeli occupation forces continue to perpetrate grave violations against the civilian population in the Gaza Strip, in continuation of what amounts to a campaign of genocide.
According to Al-Dameer’s monitoring and documentation, a total of 93 Palestinians were killed during March, including 13 children, 5 women, a journalist, a paramedic, and a former detainee.
The patterns of targeting were documented as follows: Live fire by Israeli forces outside designated deployment zones resulted in the killing of 35 civilians, including two women and one child. Airstrikes targeting residential homes without prior warning led to the killing of 8 civilians, including 3 children and one woman. The bombing of displacement tents resulted in the killing of 5 civilians, including a journalist and two children. Targeting of civilian vehicles led to the killing of 4 civilians, including one child. An attack on an ambulance resulted in the killing of 3 civilians, including a paramedic. Targeting of police vehicles resulted in the killing of 19 members of the civilian police. Drone strikes in areas classified as “yellow zones” resulted in the killing of 15 civilians, including one woman and 4 children. Additionally, the collapse of homes previously damaged during the war led to the killing of 3 civilians, including one woman and two children.
According to data released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, these violations have resulted in the killing of 713 Palestinians and the injury of 1,916 others since the ceasefire came into effect.
Al-Dameer emphasizes that these violations, which constitute serious breaches of international humanitarian law, are not isolated incidents but form part of a systematic policy pursued by Israeli occupation forces. This policy aims to undermine civilian life in the Gaza Strip and erode the means necessary for their survival.
Al-Dameer further stresses that these violations reflect a dangerous pattern of excessive and unlawful use of force, amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity. This situation calls for urgent international action to halt these violations, ensure immediate protection for civilians, and guarantee accountability while preventing impunity.
