JAKARTA - Volker Turk's United Nations Human Rights chief said the non-compliance of Israeli forces against war rules caused the majority of casualties in the Gaza Strip, Palestine being women and children.

Turk called for the killing to end "for good" and all detainees released, when the death toll in Gaza has reached more than 40 thousand.

"Most of the victims who died were women and children. This unimaginable situation was largely caused by repeated failures by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to comply with war rules," the High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement.

Gaza's health authorities confirmed on Hari Kami that the death toll from the Israeli attack on the Palestinian enclave since October 7, 2023 has reached 40,005, while injuries have reached 92,401. The majority of the victims were women and children.

"On average, about 130 people have been killed daily in Gaza over the past 10 months," Turk continued, citing estimates based on data from the bag's regional health authorities.

He added, "the scale of the destruction of Israeli homes, hospitals, schools and places of worship by the Israeli military is shocking."
