</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The UN Committee Against Torture questioned Israel on Tuesday in Geneva over reports of "torture and ill-treatment" of Palestinian detainees.</p>
<p>Peter Vedel Kessing, the committee's rapporteur, stated that Israel has intensified its use of torture since October 7, 2023. This includes severe beatings, electric shocks, waterboarding, and threats of sexual violence. </p>
<p>Kessing emphasised that reports of systematic abuse and torture also involve children. </p>
<p>Numerous reports from the UN and rights groups indicate that, during Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Palestinian detainees held in Israeli facilities have been subjected to systematic torture.</p>
<p>Released detainees gave accounts of rape, forced stripping, filmed assaults, sexual abuse using objects and dogs, and psychological humiliation by Israeli guards.</p>
<p>Last month, dozens of Palestinian bodies returned by Israel as part of the ceasefire agreement showed signs of abuse and torture.</p>
<p>Currently, an estimated 10,800 Palestinians are being held across 23 prisons, detention facilities and interrogation centres, more than double the number held before 7 October 2023.</p>
