Guterres: The number of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip is shocking and unacceptable

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, “Antonio Guterres”, the Secretary General of the United Nations, in the latest reaction Regarding the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against civilians in the Gaza Strip, he reiterated his request for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the area and announced that the number of civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip is shocking and unacceptable.

Guterres said that I was deeply shocked by the loss and wounding of a large number of women and children during the bombing of two schools in Gaza in less than 24 hours. These victims were looking for shelter in UN-affiliated buildings and should not have been attacked. On the other hand, Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, announced that in the shadow of continuous attacks against schools where refugees and the bombing of hospitals that have become death zones, the level of violence in the Gaza Strip is incomprehensible. The horrible events that have happened in Gaza in the last 48 hours are beyond imagination.

He emphasized in a statement that the massacre of this number of people in schools that serve as shelters and the escape of hundreds of people from Al-Shifa Hospital for Self-rescue amid the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from the north of Gaza to the south are events that have no proportion to the laws related to the protection of civilians. Israel is obliged to protect civilians wherever they are, and failure to respect international law in protecting civilian lives is considered a war crime.

Volker Türk stated, the published images from the al-Khore school affiliated to the United Nations after the Israeli attack It is very terrible and we clearly see countless numbers of women, children and men who have been terribly injured or massacred. Gaza marked a new crime during which dozens of people were killed. Although no report has been published about the exact number of martyrs of this crime, Palestinian journalist “Imad Zakout” announced in a conversation with Al-Jazeera that in the bombing of al-Khora school, About 200 Palestinians were martyred. Of course, in the shadow of the terrible condition of the injured and considering that a large number of them were left under the rubble, the possibility of the death toll of this crime is very high.

The Zionists committed a similar crime in the school at the same time as the new massacre in Al Khoreh school. Tal al-Zaatar, located in the north of Gaza, was committed.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Watch announced in a statement that due to Israel’s aggression against Gaza, 55,200 residential units in Gaza have been completely destroyed and 160,000 700 units were also damaged. 117 health centers and 223 schools, 821 industrial centers, 117 press offices and 75 mosques and 3 churches were seriously damaged by Israeli attacks.
