being hurt and killed, and Israel is woefully neglecting its
obligations to Palestineans, who are trapped, some among rotting corpses in a nightmarish landscape of deprivation
The UN declared a suspension of its aid operations after one of its drivers
was killed and two others were wounded despite driving United
Nations-flagged vehicles and coordinating their movements with the
Israeli military. The United Nations secretary general,
Ban Ki-moon called for an investigation by Israel for a second time in a week after
the more than 40 deaths near a United Nations school from Israeli tank
fire on Tuesday.
The International Committee of the Red Cross
reported finding what it called shocking scenes on Wednesday, including
four emaciated children next to the bodies of their dead mothers. In a
rare and sharply critical statement, it said it believed that “the
Israeli military failed to meet its obligation under international
humanitarian law to care for and evacuate the wounded.”
From the AP yesterday. Note “Both Israel and Palestinian witnesses…”
The Israeli army had no immediate comment, but has repeatedly accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields and launching attacks from schools, mosques and homes. Earlier this week, an Israeli attack outside a U.N. school killed nearly 40 people. Both Israel and Palestinian witnesses said militants carried out an attack from the area moments earlier.
Perhaps you should also report that the Hamas terrorists are using their children as human shields whenthey engage in warfare.
