Gaza: Israeli War Tactics Condemned as Aid Still Blocked from Reaching North
2024-11-14 12:00
Gaza City, Occupied Palestinian Territories – International human rights organizations have strongly condemned Israeli war tactics in Gaza, as essential aid remains blocked from reaching those in need in the north.
The Israeli military operation, which began on November 12, has resulted in the deaths of over 300 Palestinians, including more than 60 children. The vast majority of casualties occurred in the northern Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces have been accused of indiscriminate shelling and airstrikes.
“The Israeli military’s actions in Gaza have been disproportionate and indiscriminate,” said Omar Shakir, director of Human Rights Watch’s Israel and Palestine office. “They have resulted in the needless loss of countless innocent lives and caused widespread suffering.”
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has called on Israel to grant safe passage to aid workers and supplies into the northern Gaza Strip. The agency said that the lack of access is hampering its ability to provide essential food, water, and medical aid to those affected by the violence.
“The humanitarian situation in the northern Gaza Strip is dire,” said UNRWA spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna. “People are running out of food and water, and they are without access to medical care. We need immediate access to the area to deliver aid.”
The Israeli government has defended its actions in Gaza, saying that it is targeting Hamas militants who have fired rockets into Israel. However, human rights groups have accused Israel of using excessive force and said that many of the casualties have been civilians.
The international community has called on Israel to cease its military operation and allow aid to reach those in need. The United States, which has provided Israel with military and financial support, has said that it is “deeply concerned” about the situation in Gaza.
The United Nations Security Council has met to discuss the situation in Gaza, but has been unable to agree on a resolution. The Russian Federation and China have opposed calls for a ceasefire, arguing that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas attacks.
The conflict in Gaza has raised serious questions about the use of force and the legality of Israel’s military occupation of the Palestinian Territories. Human rights groups have called for an independent investigation into possible war crimes committed by both sides.
