"This is an unprecedented crisis characterized by a large number of deaths, a child is killed

 every ten minutes, a crisis in which famine is used as a weapon of war, as well as water and

 medicines," Callamard said.

This is about collective punishment, a humanitarian crisis created by military and political

 decisions, which is why Amnesty International is calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Even at the time of wars ... There are rules, and the Israeli army is ordering Palestinians to go

 to safe places, knowing that there are no safe places in Gaza.

There are no safe houses, no schools, no hospitals, there is no safe place in Gaza, but there is

 a desire to displace these residents, and we fear the worst ... We are monitoring all the

 indicators of ethnic cleansing in the speeches of the political authorities."
