Regulation: United Nations Report on Gaza and West Bank
A report from the United Nations Human Rights Office highlights the impact of Israel’s military actions and blockade on Gaza. It states that the conditions have become increasingly incompatible with the Palestinians' continued existence in the region.
The document, released on Thu, Nov 1, 2025, outlines intensified attacks, the systematic destruction of neighborhoods, and the denial of humanitarian aid, which appear aimed at causing a permanent demographic change in Gaza.
Covering the period from Nov 1, 2024, to Oct 31, 2025, the report documents the unlawful use of force by Israel’s security forces in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. It highlights arbitrary detentions and the demolition of Palestinian homes, contributing to systematic discrimination and control over the Palestinian population.
The report raises concerns about ethnic cleansing due to the displacement and changes in the demographic composition of the West Bank.

The report condemns the high civilian casualties, famine, and destruction of infrastructure in Gaza. Findings indicate that 463 Palestinians, including 157 children, died due to starvation during the documented period. The report attributes these deaths to actions by the Israeli government.
Israeli forces have launched new airstrikes and artillery attacks across the Gaza Strip, affecting areas such as Khan Younis and Rafah. These actions are part of ongoing violations of a ceasefire that began on Oct 10, 2025. According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 603 Palestinians have been killed and 1,618 wounded due to these violations.
Violence has escalated in the occupied West Bank. Settlers, under military protection, have attacked Palestinian communities, resulting in casualties and property theft. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported the death of a 19-year-old due to such violence, raising concerns about organized settler terrorism.
Israeli forces have conducted raids, resulting in injuries and detentions in areas like Arraba, south of Jenin. Restrictions have also increased at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem during Ramadan, limiting worshipper access while allowing incursions by other groups.
