Documentation (3) Impact of the Israeli aggression on citizens’ rights and vital services in the Gaza Strip May 10-18, 2021 Introduction In the evening hours of Monday, May 10, 2021, following the escalation of tension between the Palestinian resistance factions and the Israeli occupation authorities, the Israeli occupation forces launched out intensive bombing operations on the Gaza Strip. Tension had reached its peak following attempts of the Israeli occupation police to evacuate homes of a number of Jerusalemite families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem in favor of settlement associations claiming ownership of these houses, attacking Muslim worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and trying to expel them to pave the way for settlers to storm the mosque. The next day, Tuesday, May 11, the occupation army announced waging a massive military operation in the Gaza Strip, under the name of "Guardian of the Walls," under the pretext of rocket launching by the Palestinian resistance. The escalating Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip continued until the drafting of this report, causing many civilian casualties, including a large number of children and women. Bombing also caused heavy economic losses, as it affected civilian targets, including residential towers, homes, government buildings, police and security headquarters, institutions, main roads, agricultural land, banks, concrete factories, metal workshops, schools and places of worship. The impact of the Israeli aggression on the rights of citizens in the Gaza Strip is of four aspects: Violations of basic human rights, destruction of infrastructure, undermining economic structures and paralysis or inability to provide vital services. This report presents brief facts about the aforementioned four aspects. The first aspect addresses the most prominent human rights violations in six points: The right to life and physical integrity, the right to health, the right to housing, the right to education, the right to freedom of journalistic work, and the right to worship. The second aspect addresses the impact of the Israeli aggression on the economic structures in the Gaza Strip (the right to development). The third part outlines the most prominent facts about the destruction of infrastructure. Finally, the report explains how the Israeli aggression paralyzed or disrupted vital services in three points: Government services, electricity service, and telecommunications, and the Internet. The report covers the period from the start of the aggression until Tuesday evening, May 18, 2021. The report follows a descriptive approach, based on qualitative and quantitative information, obtained from secondary sources, such as reports by human rights centers, government data, and statements, foremost of which is the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and some statements by media officials.
