NRC Calls For End To Violence In Gaza

The Norwegian Refugee Council has called for an immediate end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip.

“Renewed conflict in Gaza shows that the international community has failed in preventing Israel from using unnecessary lethal force against civilians and ensuring basic needs for the population it occupies,” NRC’s country director for Palestine, Caroline Ort, said.

“Indiscriminate attacks against civilians in Gaza and Israel must stop. Israel must abide by international law and distinguish between civilians who directly participate in hostilities and those who do not or no In Gaza longer do. PIJ must not directly or indiscriminately launch attacks against Israeli civilians.”
