UN: Israel mishandles Gaza returnees
The United Nations Human Rights Organization expressed its concern over the repeated incidents of Palestinians returning to the Gaza Strip being subjected to humiliating treatment by the Israeli occupation forces, including beatings, threats, invasive searches, and confiscation of medicines and personal belongings. Reports indicate that hundreds of Palestinians who returned between July and August 2026 had their belongings, including medicines and assistive devices, confiscated with no available mechanism for retrieval. The UN clarified that returnees face verbal and physical abuse and intimidation during their crossing, raising fears that such practices may discourage more Palestinians from returning to the densely populated and dire humanitarian situation in the territory.
