Across northern #Gaza, there is no way of telling where the destruction starts or ends.
No matter from what direction you enter #Gaza City, homes, hospitals, schools, health clinics, mosques, apartments, restaurants - all completely flattened.
An entire society now a graveyard.
Israeli troops have besieged the last three functional hospitals in north Gaza, a new chapter in a conflict that has targeted hospitals with an intensity and overtness rarely seen in modern warfare. The AP spent months collecting their stories. https://t.co/ftPrkO02J1
We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured.
A @WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.
These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!
UNIFIL statement:
Early this morning, peacekeepers at a UN position in Ramyah observed three platoons of IDF soldiers crossing the Blue Line into Lebanon.
This morning, two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall. The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital.
There is no way that what Israel just pulled in Lebanon is not a war crime. It is 100% a war crime. It is an act of terror and attempting to justify it by saying the target was Hezbollah when they killed children, medics, doctors, civilians is not going to work. Horrific.
They “accidentally” shot her in the head, just like they “accidentally” shot Shireen Abu Akleh in the head, “accidentally” crushed Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer, “accidentally” targeted marked WCK cars 3 times…
Same story: global outrage, Israel investigates itself, says oops.
Just Tragic.
#Gaza
Six @UNRWA colleagues killed today when two airstrikes hit a school and its surroundings in Nuseirat in the middle areas.
This is the highest death toll among our staff in a single incident.
Among those killed was the manager of the UNRWA shelter and other team members providing assistance to displaced people.
Sincere condolences to their families and loved ones.
This school has been hit five times since the war began.
It is home to around 12,000 displaced people, mainly women and children.
No one is safe in Gaza
No one is spared.
Schools and other civilian infrastructure must be protected at all times, they are not a target.
We call on all parties to the conflict to never use schools or the areas around them for military or fighting purposes.
#CeasefireNOW
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi should be alive today.
Instead, she was shot in the head and killed by the IDF while protesting Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank.
She was an American citizen. There must be accountability and a thorough, independent investigation.
