UN special rapporteurs on Monday condemned violence, including sexual violence and alleged enforced disappearances, against women and children in Gaza. They stated: "We are appalled that women are being targeted by such vicious, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks by Israel, which apparently spares no effort to destroy their lives and deprive them of their basic human rights."
