ROME (AA) — Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday evening examined Evidence, a book by Anadolu compiling photo evidence of Israeli atrocities and war crimes in its ongoing relentless attack in Gaza.

At a dinner organized by the Foreign Press Association in Rome, Anadolu's Rome corespondent Baris Seckin presented Meloni the book that publicly exposes Israel's human rights violations.

Thanking Seckin for the publication, Meloni said it was an "interesting work" after examining it.

Anadolu reporters have documented and publicized war crimes committed by Israel against Gaza since Oct. 7 last year, with photographs captured by the news agency's photojournalists used as evidence at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.​​​​​​​

Israel has launched a deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip following a Hamas attack on Oct. 7. The ensuing Israeli bombardment has killed nearly 29,900 and injured over 70,000 with mass destruction and shortages of necessities.

The Israeli war on Gaza has pushed 85% of the territory's population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
