Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused Israel of committing "acts of genocide" in Gaza by restricting water access, damaging infrastructure, and obstructing repairs. The report claims thousands have died from dehydration and disease due to Israeli actions. HRW's executive director, Tirana Hassan, called it a "calculated policy of deprivation." Israel dismissed the report as "propaganda," asserting it facilitates water and aid despite ongoing Hamas attacks. The 179-page report includes interviews, satellite data, and documentation of alleged intent. The International Court of Justice is examining similar accusations. Israel maintains its focus is on Hamas, denying allegations of targeting civilians.
