The UN Human Rights chief says the Israeli regime has been demonstrating an “unprecedented disregard for human rights” in its military onslaught in the Gaza Strip, calling the humanitarian situation there a "catastrophe."

Israel has placed Gaza’s healthcare system on the verge of collapse, the United Nations human rights office says.

The UN Human Rights Office says women and children comprise nearly 70 percent of those killed in the Gaza Strip.

A top UN official says the Israeli forced displacement of people in northern Gaza may amount to a "war crime."

In the midst of the reign of terror during the late 18th century, a term was forged in the fiery tumult of the French Revolution; terrorism, a term born from the shadows of La guillotine, resonating into the modern era.

“Ending that war and averting a full-blown regional conflict is an absolute and urgent priority,” Volker Turk said in Geneva.

The UN right chief has censused "unacceptable" abuse and torture of Palestinian detainees by the Israeli forces.
