Palestinians returning to Gaza via the reopened Rafah crossing have reported mistreatment by Israeli military forces, including abuse, intimidation, and theft of personal belongings, according to the UN human rights office.

The UN expressed concern over these practices, suggesting they undermine Palestinians’ rights and contribute to ethnic cleansing. Despite a ceasefire, ongoing violence from the Israeli army continues to impact civilians, with significant humanitarian needs still unmet.
