“How to Hide a Genocide”: Al-Haq Report Shows How Israel Hides Behind “Safe Zones”

HeadlineJan 03, 2025

Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed at least 35 Palestinians since dawn, with authorities reporting more than 70 civilians killed over the past 24 hours, including in the so-called humanitarian safe zone of al-Mawasi. This comes as the Palestinian rights group Al-Haq published a new report called “How to Hide a Genocide,” revealing how Israel uses evacuation orders and “safe zones” to obfuscate its genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip. Al-Haq writes, “With insufficient space, shelter, sanitation facilities, food, or water sources, and medical care, these safe zones are intentionally designed to ensure the destruction of all life sheltering there. What’s more, the safe zones … are routinely targeted by Israeli occupying forces by air, land, and sea.”
