After Gaza school bombing, UN special rapporteur on Palestine accuses Israel of ‘genocide’

11 Aug 2024 - 17:20

The UN’s special rapporteur on Palestine accused Israel of carrying out a “genocide” in Gaza on Saturday.


Describing Gaza as "the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century," Francesca Albanese wrote on X: "Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time.”
Albanese’s comments came after the early Saturday attack when the Israeli military bombed the Al-Taba'een school in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, which Palestinian officials say killed at least 100 Palestinians.
She pointed to the use of US and European weapons in Israeli attacks, expressing dismay at what she termed the "indifference of all 'civilized nations'" to the situation in Gaza.
“May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of (international) law,” Albanese said.
