The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) invites you to the online launch of our report, “Voices of the Genocide”, which will take place on Thursday, 28 August 2025, at 9:00 AM EDT (16:00 Jerusalem Time).
Since 7 October 2023, Israel has carried out one of the most violent and destructive assaults on the Gaza Strip, inflicting catastrophic consequences for its 2.3 million residents and continuing decades of systematic targeting and oppression of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) has been documenting the genocide since its outset. However, due to the extreme challenges amid more than 21 months of ongoing genocide, this report is being released at this stage.
The report centres on victims’ testimonies, presenting the narrative through their eyes. It draws on 1,225 interviews with victims and eyewitnesses, supported by extensive open-source evidence. It documents the full spectrum of genocidal acts, including mass killings, starvation, large-scale destruction, forced displacement, prevention of births, mass arrests, and other measures intended to bring about the physical destruction of the Palestinian people. It also presents statements by Israeli officials evidencing genocidal intent, alongside legal analysis under the 1948 Genocide Convention, and calls for urgent international action to end the genocide.
