Israel's strikes continue to wreak havoc on the Gaza Strip, with attacks on Friday killing two parents and their child in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The world could very well be witnessing "another Nakba", a United Nations committee warned Friday, referring to the mass displacement of Palestinians in the war that accompanied Israel's creation in 1948.

"Israel continues to inflict unimaginable suffering on the people living under its occupation, whilst rapidly expanding confiscation of land as part of its wider colonial aspirations," warned a UN Special Committee tasked with investigating Israeli practices affecting Palestinian human rights.

"What we are witnessing could very well be another Nakba."
