They spend hundreds of hours every year in places where conflicts are ongoing, interviewing witnesses and survivors, gathering information from multiple local organisations and officials, including the armed forces and law enforcement.

Stop to Israel's genocide against the Palestinian population of Gaza
Amnesty International Italy launches an appeal for "Stop to Israel's genocide against the Palestinian population of Gaza". The world is witnessing unfathomable levels of death and destruction in the Gaza Strip, occupied for almost two years.
Israel's brutal assault on the Palestinian population in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of people, wiped out entire families, razed residential neighbourhoods to the ground, destroyed critical infrastructure and forcibly displaced 2 million Palestinians, over 90 per cent of the population of the Gaza Strip, causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Amnesty International has investigated Israel's conduct in Gaza and the evidence gathered and analysed provides sufficient basis to conclude that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza following 7 October 2023. Between October 2023 and July 2024, Israel committed acts prohibited by the Genocide Convention with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian population of Gaza. Italy is actively providing Israel with advanced military aid and technologies that could constitute "complicity in genocide".
What Amnesty asks
Amnesty International calls on President Meloni to stop fueling the genocide in Gaza. There is a call to immediately suspend the direct and indirect supply, sale or transfer to Israel of all weapons, ammunition and other military and security equipment. In addition, it calls for ensuring that the European Union imposes a complete arms embargo on Israel and exerts diplomatic pressure for an immediate ceasefire, publicly acknowledging that Israel is violating international law and committing genocide.
