Addressing the Impact of House Demolitions on Palestinian Children & Families

Periodic Report: June 2009
Shackling as a Form of Torture and Abuse

The State of the World's Children 2009 examines critical issues in maternal and neonatal health. It explains why support for the rights of women and children is a prerequisite for improving maternal and newborn health, emphasizes the need to establish effective continua of care and outlines ways to strengthen health systems.

The delegation from the Britain-Palestine All Party Parliamentary Group (BPAPPG) visited Gaza and the West Bank from 14th to 20th February 2009. They witnessed the widespread destruction of civilian areas in Gaza and met with many families who had lost members and were trying to care for those who had sustained horrific injuries in desperate conditions. They talked with a number of school, hospital and NGO directors to learn about their experiences during the bombardment and visited some of the worst affected areas of Gaza, including Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahiya and Izbit Abed Rabbo.

The systematic destruction of civil society

This 71-page report provides witness accounts of the devastating effects that white phosphorus munitions had on civilians and civilian property in Gaza. Human Rights Watch researchers in Gaza immediately after hostilities ended found spent shells, canister liners, and dozens of burnt felt wedges containing white phosphorus on city streets, apartment roofs, residential courtyards, and at a United Nations school. The report also presents ballistics evidence, photographs, and satellite imagery, as well as documents from the Israeli military and government.
