LATEST HUMANITARIAN HIGHLIGHTS

Médicins Sans Frontières - Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestine, is facing a humanitarian catastrophe as Israel’s latest military assault escalates, pushing people to the brink and threatening the survival of what remains of the health system. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams warn that it will be simply impossible to force one million people – including hundreds of critically ill patients and newborn babies – out of Gaza City and into overcrowded and under-resourced areas in the centre and south of the Strip. This would represent a death sentence for one million Palestinians: PRIME SOURCE

 

Geneva – The European Union (EU) continues to evade its international obligations regarding the grave crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, proposing only selective and fragmented measures that fail to utilise its real leverage tools against Israel and do nothing to halt the ongoing genocide for over 23 months. The measures proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are symbolic and superficial, lacking seriousness and firmness, and amount to a manoeuvre around the EU’s legal obligations under international law.

ICRC LAW & POLICIY BLOG As many states, especially those with large and resourceful militaries, are exploring the potential of using artificial intelligence (AI) in targeting decisions, there is an urgent need to understand the risks associated with these systems, one being the risks of bias. However, while concerns about bias are often mentioned in the military AI policy debate, how it manifests as harm and what can be done to address it is rarely discussed in depth. This represents a critical gap in efforts to ensure the lawful use of military AI. ICRC Blog / Podcast: PRIME SOURCE

Denmark’s welfare authority, Udbetaling Danmark, is using AI tools, including up to 60 fraud-detection algorithms, in its quest to identify benefits fraud. However, the Danish automated welfare system raises concerns about privacy erosion and human dignity. By deploying these fraud-detection algorithms alongside traditional surveillance methods, the authorities are enabling and expanding digitized mass surveillance. Racialized groups, migrants, refugees, and people with disabilities are all at risk of discrimination within this system. Filmmaker: Rolien Creton - Credit: Amnesty International 2024

📚 Recommendation

 

The Gaza Strip is among the most densely populated places in the world. More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under the age of eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating "operations" against Gaza's largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade.
