“This strike once again illustrates the Israeli army’s total disregard for civilian lives,” denounces MSF

According to the Palestinian authorities, the Israeli strike on a Rafah camp in the far south of the Gaza Strip left at least 40 dead.

“This strike once again illustrates the Israeli army’s total disregard for civilian lives”, denounced Monday May 27 on franceinfo Guillemette Thomas, Palestine mission medical coordinator for Médecins sans frontières France while the Hebrew State struck a camp near Rafah causing several dozen deaths. The Palestinian presidency evokes a “horrible massacre”.

MSF supports a “stabilization center” located near the location of the strike: “Dozens and dozens of injured people, more than 180 in total, arrived at the stabilization center, most of them with complex injuries, with extensive burns. Twenty-eight people died immediately. This is an extremely heavy toll. “she testified.

The Israeli army continues its bombings in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, while the International Court of Justice ordered the Jewish state to immediately end its offensive. “This strike which arrived in the middle of the night, inevitably, led to extremely large numbers of civilian victims. These are women, these are children, these are civilians who, once again, are targeted and affected in this conflict”deplores Guillemette Thomas.

The Israeli army claims to have “hit a Hamas compound”. For Guillemette Thomas, “it’s absolutely inaudible”. She denounces “the narrative of the Israeli army” Who “since the start of this war has made people believe that because we target terrorists, we can kill dozens and hundreds of civilians. This is unacceptable. It is no longer audible. We cannot accept this kind of speech “she says.

Amnesty International is calling on the International Criminal Court to open a war crimes investigation into three other similar Israeli bombings of camps in the Gaza Strip in April. “It is indeed necessary that the judicial authorities competent to judge these crimes be seized and authorized to work independently so that justice can do its work”, she says. But as a humanitarian organization, MSF asks “access to the civilian population, the means of working with medical equipment” And “food“.
