The Devastating Impact of War on Gaza: Destruction and the Power of Art

The widespread destruction of homes in Gaza due to Israeli bombardment has raised concerns about the concept of "domicide" - the intentional destruction of dwellings to make an area uninhabitable. Experts argue that the scale of infrastructure damage in Gaza may be part of a covert plan to expel Palestinians from the territory. While "domicide" is not currently recognized as a distinct crime against humanity under international law, legal experts are calling for its inclusion to address the protection gap. The destruction of homes in Gaza has led to a significant number of internally displaced people and has raised questions about the viability of Gaza as a society in the future.
