The Acts of the Democracies

Palestine: House Demolitions (Rafah)

In occupied Gaza, over 2,300 Palestinian homes have been demolished by Israel, making 17,594 people homeless. Rafah, near the Egyptian border, is the worst affected area where 11,215 people have been made homeless between September 2000 and May 2004. These acts violate the Geneva Convention and are a form of ethnic cleansing.
