"Carrying out hostilities with the knowledge that they will systematically destroy and damage civilian housing and infrastructure, rendering an entire city -- such as Gaza city - uninhabitable for civilians is a war crime," said Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing.

In a recent report to the UN General Assembly, Rajagopal used the term "domicide" to refer to such systematic or widespread attacks on housing and civilian infrastructure that causes death and suffering.
