During a recent Security Council meeting, convened at Algeria’s request to discuss the situation in Gaza, senior United Nations officials expressed grave concerns about the risk of atrocities and the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region. Ilze Brands Kehris, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, highlighted the fear among Palestinians of being forcibly displaced from Gaza and not being allowed to return. She referred to recent statements by some Israeli leaders advocating the permanent resettlement of Palestinians in other countries. Brands Kehris warned that such forced evacuations might constitute a war crime under international law. The meeting focused on the impact of the Oct. 7 attacks and subsequent Israeli military actions.

Brands Kehris pointed out that orders from Israeli authorities for civilians to evacuate areas north of Wadi Gaza ahead of military offensives appeared to lack provision for compliance with international law, including ensuring adequate access to hygiene, health, safety, nutrition, shelter, and family unity. She also underscored the collective memory of Palestinians, referencing the 1948 Nakba, or “catastrophe,” when millions were displaced. Brands Kehris stressed the dire situation in Gaza, with over 90 percent of the population facing acute food insecurity and the brink of a human-made famine. She emphasized that using starvation as a tactic of war is prohibited and raised concerns about potential war crimes and atrocity crimes due to high civilian casualties, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and abysmal humanitarian conditions affecting 2.2 million people in Gaza.

Martin Griffiths, the UN’s Humanitarian Chief, echoed these concerns, highlighting the devastating impact of nearly 100 days of Israeli military activity. He reported tens of thousands of casualties, predominantly women and children, and the forced displacement of 1.9 million civilians, amounting to 85 percent of Gaza’s total population. Griffiths described the resulting trauma, with individuals repeatedly fleeing aerial bombardment. He detailed the humanitarian crisis, including overflowing shelters, dwindling food and water supplies, and a healthcare system on the verge of collapse. Griffiths noted the increase in infectious diseases and the perilous conditions for medical treatments, including childbirth and vaccinations.

He stated, “There is no safe place in Gaza.” Griffiths also raised concerns about the challenges in delivering humanitarian aid due to restricted access and the danger to aid workers. He described the horrific scenes witnessed by colleagues in northern Gaza, including starvation and destruction of homes. The meeting addressed the possibility of hostilities spreading further south, potentially leading to mass displacement into neighboring countries and raising concerns about forced population transfers or deportations. Both Brands Kehris and Griffiths called for greater compliance with international humanitarian law, emphasizing the protection of civilians, provision of essential survival needs, facilitation of humanitarian assistance, humane treatment of hostages, and an immediate ceasefire. Griffiths urged the Security Council to take urgent action to end the war.
