European Union has requested an impartial international investigation of the ongoing Palestine/Israeli war for a clear picture and responsibilities of the tragic event.
Ambassador of the Palestinian State, Abdullah Shaweh stated this in Abuja during his Weekly briefing in his reaction to Israeli continued Genocide in Gaza.
Ambassador said: “The EU describes fairing by the Israeli soldiers against the Palestinian civilians unjustifiable where more than a hundred civilians were killed and many others wounded when desperately trying to get food from a convoy”.
“The EU request for an impartial international investigation on this tragic event allowing for a clear picture of the event and responsibilities. The EU stresses that it’s the Israeli responsibility to comply with the rules of international law and to protect the distribution of humanitarian aid to the civilian population”.
Stephan Dujarric the UNSG spokesperson said “The Secretary-General is appalled by the tragic human toll of the conflict in Gaza, in which more than 30,000 people have now reportedly been killed and over 70,000 injured. Tragically, an unknown number of people lie under the rubble”.
“The Secretary-General condemns the incident today in northern Gaza in which more than a hundred people were reportedly killed or injured while seeking life-saving aid.”
On US support to Israel
“As expected, the United States vetoed a Security Council statement drafted regarding this new round of slaughter. This is the fifth time in a row that the United States has used its veto power to facilitate the continuation of the genocidal war against the Palestinian people during the past 153 days”.
“Adding to that the continuous shipment of various types of weapons that have killed innocent Palestinian people.
“We can confidently say that the United States has gone beyond complicity. The USA is a full cosponsor of the war against the Palestinian people“. The Envoy stated.
On permanent solution to the crisis
“No one is safe until everyone is safe”.
“Peace can be reached if and only if Israel recognizes the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, a fundamental and basic human right“.
On casualties
“As of March 6, 30717 Palestinians have been killed and 72156 injured, with 8000 still missing under the rubble. The Israeli Occupation Force has denied rescue teams access to reach and save them”.
“As of Monday, March 4th, the Israeli army has killed 364 medical staff members and arrested 269, including hospital directors. They have also targeted 155 health institutions, put 32 hospitals and 53 health centers out of service, and targeted 126 ambulances. It is noted that they have detected about one million cases of infectious diseases”.
“As of March 4″, 16 infants have died due to severe malnutrition and drought resulting from the strict Israeli military blockade and the war of starvation policy it imposed”.
“The UN Women issued seven facts prove that the war on Gaza is also a war on women and I would like to quote the following
“An estimated 9,000 women have been reportedly killed by Israeli forces in Gaza to date. This Sigure is likely an underestimate, as many more women are reported to be dead under the rubble.”
“Every day the war in Gaza continues, at the current rate, an average of 63 women will continue to be killed”.
“An estimated 37 mothers are killed every day, leaving their families devastated and their children with diminished protection“. Ambassador lamented
