Gaza: “unacceptable” choice between being shot or feeding
United Nations Human Rights Office (Ohchr) Spokesman Ravina Shamdasani told journalists in Geneva on Friday that “we raised concerns about atrocity crimes. The risk of additional atrocity crimesWhere people queue for essential supplies such as food and medicine and where they are attacked, where still … they have the choice between being shot or feeds. ”
Mortal lottery
“” It’s unacceptable and it continuesShe deplored.
Ms. Shamdasani said that her office was still examining the incident in which at least 15 Palestinians, including women and children, would have been killed by a strike before a Deir al-Balah clinic led by the help group based in the United States Project Hope, a partner organization of the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef).
In a statement on Thursday, UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said that the murder of families trying to access vital aid was “unacceptable”.
The Israeli army would have said that it was targeting a member of Hamas involved in terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Asked about the justification for the establishment of civilians, including children, in fatal danger during the targeting of a specific person, Ms. Shamdasani said that during the conflict in Gaza, Ohchr had serious concerns concerning the respect of the essential principles of international humanitarian law, in particular that of distinction and proportionality.
“We have seen this of the overall number of death in Gaza; A large proportion are women and children. And Again, this raises serious questions as to whether these principles are respected“She said.
Hungry people in Gaza run the risk of facing food aid.
Hundreds were killed by queuing for food
The murders of Gazans on or around aid distribution sites and close humanitarian convoys have become regular in a context of restrictions at the entrance to food, fuel and rescue products in the band and in particular since the establishment of food distribution sites by the UN operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
Since the end of May, this militarized aid distribution model, supported by Israel and the United States, has sought to put the touch of the UN and its experienced humanitarian partners.
Ms. Shamdasani of Ohchr said that from May 27, when the GHF began its operations in Gaza, until July 7Ohchr recorded 798 murders “including 615 near the GHF sites and 183 probably on the roads of help convoys”.
Ball injury
The death of nearly 800 people trying to access the aid was “mainly due to … ball injury,” said Shamdasani.
Join her to condemn the murders, the World Health Organization (WHO) Spokesman Christian Lindmeier said he was ” Daily lacking in words to describe the scenario».
“People are slaughtered on distribution sites … dozens of women, children and men and boys and girls who are killed while obtaining food or in what is supposed to be safe shelters or on the path of health clinics or health clinics-that is far beyond the inacceptation.”
Fuel crisis
Invited to comment on Wednesday a 75,000 -liter fuel delivery in Gaza, the first provision of this type in more than 130 days, Mr. Lindmeier said that “as well as this quantity of fuel has finally arrived … We should not count on special special deliveries”, whether on fuel, food or other emergency items.
“There should be a recurring delivery to Gaza to keep the living lines open, to provide ambulances, hospitals, water desalination factories, bakeries … everything you need to keep a little life buoy there, to manage the incubators,” he said.
The WHO spokesman stressed that 94% of Gaza hospitals are now damaged or destroyedWhile the trip continues and civilians are pushed into ever smaller spaces.
Mr. Lindmeier also expressed his hope for a positive result of the current ceasefire talks.
“Peace is the best medication and the opening of the doors remains the only viable option,” he concluded.
