Israeli attack on Gaza was "massive state terror": former UN official | The Electronic Intifada
As a brutal winter storm hits Gaza, where tens of thousands of Palestinians remain without proper shelter after Israel’s summer attacks, a former United Nations official warns of a “humanitarian emergency of the highest order.”
“The evidence seems overwhelming as to the commission of massive war crimes,” former UN special rapporteur Richard Falk told The Electronic Intifada.
Yet justice is as out of reach for Palestinians in Gaza as relief from the dire humanitarian situation there.
The Ma’an News Agency reported today
that a two-month-old infant near Khan Younis in southern Gaza died in
her family’s home, damaged by Israel, as a result of the freezing cold.
The baby, Rafah Ali Abu Assi, and her family “reportedly continued
living in their damaged home despite the destruction.”
Richard Falk spoke in Berkeley last month.
