Lack of international action allows genocide in Gaza, Palestinian rights groups
Three Palestinian human rights groups have blamed the international community for Israel’s “deliberate massacres” of civilians in Gaza.
“The international community’s failure to end the ongoing genocide” has enabled Israeli attacks, including the latest “horrific massacres” in the al-Mawasi area, which killed at least 90, and in the Shati refugee camp, where Israeli warplanes bombed Palestinians at prayer killing 22 people, the rights groups said.
“International inaction continues to embolden Israel to perpetrate international crimes,” the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Al-Haq, and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights said in a joint statement.
“States arming and financing Israel’s genocidal acts are complicit in these crimes, including genocide,” they said.
Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has strongly condemned the ongoing "endless massacre" in Gaza, joining the international condemnation of Israel's "successive attacks" on what are referred to as "safe zones". This includes a devastating strike in the al-Mawasi camp, resulting in the tragic loss of 90 lives.
In a statement, Izzat al-Risheq, a member of Hamas's political office, denied reports that the Palestinian group has withdrawn from recently renewed ceasefire talks.
An Israeli attack on a UNRWA school shelter in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza has resulted in the death of at least 17 Palestinians and left 80 others wounded.
