AOHR and the Situation inn Occupied Palestine
The AOHR has played a great role on the situation of human rights in Occupied Palestine through the last 4 decades, and benefited from its ongoing partnership with the eldest Palestinian human rights NGO (ALHAQ) and the membership of the prominent Palestinian human rights NGOs: MEZAN Center for Human Rights (MEZAN) and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR).
Since 7 October 2023, the AOHR has carried out a unique effort on the situation in Palestine, and took advantage of being in Egypt the neighboring country to Gaza strip, which has attracted the work of the UN human rights machinery, as follows:
One of the AOHR’s landmark achievements was conducting a complementary Fact Finding Mission in Egyptian hospitals in which the Palestinian Injured Victims receives medical care, and documented the testimonies of 132 victims during the period Feb – Jun 2024, including 24 visits to 22 hospitals in Northern Sinai and 11 other Egyptian governorates.
