The UN’s special rapporteur on Palestine accused on Saturday, 10 August 2024 Israel of carrying out a “genocide” in Gaza.
Francesca Albanese wrote on X: “Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time”, describing Gaza as “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century,”.
She pointed to the use of US and European weapons in Israeli attacks, expressing dismay at what she termed the “indifference of all ‘civilized nations’” to the situation in Gaza.
“May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of (international) law,” Albanese said.
Earlier, the Israeli military bombed the Al-Taba’een School in the Al-Daraj neighborhood housing displaced Palestinian people, killing at least 100 including women and children, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.
The media office stated that “The Israeli strikes targeted the displaced people while performing Fajr (dawn) prayers, (which) led to a rapid rise in the number of casualties,”.
