The United Nations added Israeli and Russian forces to their annual report on s*xual violence in conflict zones for the first time in 15 years since the report began. UN investigators verified 31 cases of s*xual violence committed against Palestinian men, women and children between 2023 and 2025. The UN warns the numbers in the report are indicative of āincidents and patternsā and should not be viewed as a comprehensive summary of s*xual violence against Palestinians, as Israel continues to create restrictions UN investigators.
The report details a āsystematic lack of accountability for violations against Palestiniansā which has perpetuated a climate of impunity. The report came out just a week after flotilla activists working to bring aid to Gaza reported at least 15 instances of s*xual violence while detained by Israeli forces.Ā The repeated mass displacement of Palestianisns by Israel has also left women and girls in Palestine at āheightened risks of s*xual violence.ā
