⭕️Numerous military offensives in recent weeks have led to recurrent mass casualty influxes at #MSF-supported medical facilities in Rafah and the Middle Area of Gaza.
⭕️How can the killing of more than 800 people in a single week, including small #children, plus the maiming of hundreds more, be considered a military operation adhering to international #humanitarian law?,
⭕️ Israel repeatedly bombed so-called safe zones, #refugee camps, a school and multiple humanitarian warehouses, which were formally registered as ‘deconflicted’ by Israeli forces.
⭕️We call on Israel’s allies, including the #US, $UK, and #EU member states, to do everything in their power to influence Israel to stop attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza.
#Gaza / Israelis Attacking Known Aid Worker Locations
[…] Israel’s attack on April 1 on the World Central Kitchen convoy, which killed seven workers, far from being an isolated “mistake,” is just one of at least eight incidents that Human Rights Watch identified in which aid organizations and UN agencies had communicated with Israeli authorities the GPS coordinates of an aid convoy or premises and yet Israeli forces attacked the convoy or shelter without any warning.
[…] In these eight incidents, Israeli forces killed at least 15 people, including 2 children, and injured at least 16 others.
