Anne Souyris, EELV senator from Paris, is part of a parliamentary delegation which went to Rafah on Sunday February 4 to call for a ceasefire. This town in the Gaza Strip was recently bombed.
The delegation failed to reach the Palestinian side and remained on the Egyptian side. “It was absolutely necessary to come and testify, and this is the statement we made, to say ‘we need an immediate ceasefire’, it is not possible to displace more than a million people who have not no more homes, who are under bombing, who are injured and who cannot even get out (of Gaza)“, explains Anne Souyris.
For her, “it is a real trap, and even a siege that we are witnessing“She deplores the helplessness of humanitarian groups in the face of the situation at the border,”they can no longer communicate and that means thousands of people are sentenced to death“There were around twenty parliamentarians from left to right who met in Rafah.”This is the first time that a parliamentary delegation has arrived in Gaza since October 7“, underlines the senator.
A “genocidal risk”
The Palestinians”hope that this call for a ceasefire will be carried by France“and that it takes into account the”genocidal risk“pointed out by the International Court of Justice. The senator was able to meet the injured.”They expect everything from us even if, once cured, they want to return to Gaza“, specifies Anne Souyris. She also hopes that “Europe will take control of this situation“.
The delegation did not interact with members of Hamas. “Nobody raised this subject, the question was the humanitarian question, the question of peace“.”Our objective is that every civilian victim be saved from these bombings which do not stop and which kill mainly Palestinians, but which are also killing Israelis.she explains.
