189 Palestinians Killed and Over 6,100 Injured in Gaza Protests Last Year

Last year, weekly protests in Gaza resulted in the deaths of 189 Palestinians and injuries to more than 6,100 others. These figures were highlighted in a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution that condemned the use of force against civilian protesters. The resolution was brought forward by Pakistan on behalf of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
UN Inquiry Findings on Force Used Against Protesters

A UN inquiry report indicated that Israeli security forces may have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity through their actions. This report served as the basis for the resolution adopted by the Human Rights Council. The inquiry specifically addressed the circumstances surrounding the fatalities and injuries sustained during the protests.
Human Rights Council Resolution on Accountability

The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution focused on accountability for violations in Gaza. The resolution passed with 23 states voting in favour, eight against, and 15 abstentions. This condemnation by the Geneva forum called for perpetrators of all violations within the strip to face justice.
International Division on the Resolution

The resolution revealed divisions among member states, particularly among European nations, regarding the condemnation of Israeli actions. The United States, having withdrawn from the body in the previous year due to allegations of anti-Israel bias, did not participate in the vote.
