HUMAN Rights Watch (HRW) today accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

The New York-based international rights group alleges in a new report released today that Israel is also guilty of massive forced displacements that amount to ethnic cleansing.

HRW said that people have been killed while evacuating under Israeli orders and in Israeli-designated humanitarian zones, where hundreds of thousands are crammed into squalid tent camps.
