Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza by denying Palestinian civilians adequate access to water, which it claims has led to thousands of deaths. The 179-page report details intentional destruction of water infrastructure and restrictions on humanitarian aid. Israel’s foreign ministry has vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that they continue to provide water and aid despite ongoing Hamas attacks. This accusation is one of many from rights groups regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict.
