GAZA,(The Palestine Foundation Pakistan)The Gaza Rights Center (GRC) has denounced the continued horrific crimes committed by the Israeli occupation army against civilians in the Gaza Strip despite US president Donald Trump’s call for an immediate halt to Israel’s bombardment in the territory.
In a statement on Saturday, GRC said that its field team documented 59 Israeli aerial and artillery attacks in Gaza within less than 16 hours following Trump’s call for a ceasefire.
These Israeli attacks targeted densely populated areas, neighborhoods, homes, commercial and public service facilities, and main roads, according to GRC.
GRC reported that these documented attacks claimed the lives of 34 Palestinians — 27 in Gaza City, five in Khan Yunis, and two in central Gaza — and left dozens injured, including women and children. The strikes also caused extensive damage to both private and public property.
GRC accused the Israeli occupation regime of ignoring all calls to stop its genocide in Gaza, including Trump’s ceasefire plea, persisting in committing its crimes with impunity and political and military protection from several countries spearheaded by the US.
“These ongoing attacks are happening as the Gaza Strip is facing a severe humanitarian crisis due to the tight blockade, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of citizens, and the near-total collapse of infrastructure, including electricity, water and sewage networks. This crisis is further compounded by the targeting of medical facilities, which are already grappling with acute shortages of medicines and supplies,” GRC said.
GRC appealed to the international community to take action to compel Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza and ensure accountability for those responsible for the crimes committed.
