JAKARTA - The United Nations Special Reporter for the Right to Worthy Housing Askrishnan Rajagopal, called Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, a 'Domicide', a systematic destruction aimed at forcing residents to leave their territory and could not be inhabited.

He stated that the continued destruction of houses under the pretext of a weak military was part of a broader genocide crime.

In a statement in the media, Rajagopal said Israeli forces continued to kill, destroy houses, and hinder humanitarian aid despite a ceasefire, arguing the ceasefire had become "a matter on paper" due to the absence of a real monitoring mechanism.

He stressed that the destruction was carried out on a large and indiscriminate scale, with no credible evidence that the houses targeted were the military targets.

Rajagopal called Israel's actions a serious violation of war laws and crimes against humanity.

He also warned of the alarming humanitarian situation in Gaza, recording more than 288,000 Palestinian families currently lacking proper housing.

He added that Israel had not allowed a number of tents and temporary housing units agreed to enter Gaza, although aid trucks were ready at the crossing point.
