The report documents a broad range of violations perpetrated against Palestinian women, men, girls and boys across the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 7 October 2023 that constitutes a major element in the ill-treatment of Palestinians and are part of the unlawful occupation and persecution of Palestinians as a group.

Where is the New York Times with the front page story? They were so happy to make it front page news when a discredited journalist lied about hamas doing it. Now that the fucking UN is saying Isreal does it with out a doubt it's just crickets

I found their headline for this report, it's "U.N. Accuses Israel of Targeting Reproductive Health Facilities in Gaza" they do touch on the sexual abuse later in the article
