GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/ Doctors Without Borders said, “Since the beginning of June, more than 800 people have been killed and over 2,400 wounded in intense bombing and ground offensives by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.”
“How can the killing of more than 800 people in a single week … be considered a military operation adhering to international humanitarian law? We can no longer accept the statement that Israel is taking ‘all precautions’ – this is just propaganda,” MSF added in a recent press release.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry which investigates crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territories said, “Israel committed war crimes in the Gaza Strip.”
This came in a report published by the Commission on Wednesday on international law violations and international crimes committed by the parties during the period from October 7 to December 31, 2023.
The International Commission said, “Israel committed war crimes, including genocide, against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” calling on Israel to “immediately stop its devastating war that forced thousands of civilians in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, to flee to unsafe areas.”
Since the seventh of October 7 last year, the Israeli occupation army has been waging its aggression against the Gaza Strip, with US and European support, leading to the martyrdom of 37,202 people and the injury of 84,932 others, in addition to the displacement of about 1.7 million people from the Strip’s population, according to UN data.
