UN calls for banks to halt Gaza funding
The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has called on global banks to cease financing the genocide carried out by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip. She pointed out that some banks, such as Barclays and BNP Paribas, have halted their funding, while awaiting similar calls from others like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. Since October 2023, Israeli bombing and the siege of Gaza have resulted in the deaths of more than 72,993 civilians, most of them women and children, along with 173,230 others wounded—a provisional figure.
